As etckeeper wasn’t available in the “normal” OpeenSuSE 13.1 package, I used the steps below to upgrade to 13.2 after reading SDB:System upgrade – openSUSE and How To Upgrade To openSUSE 13.2 From openSUSE 13.1 | Unixmen.
Note I installed inside tmux (to prevent any ssh disconnects from screwing the upgrade process):

Problem: yast2-x11-3.1.3-2.1.2.x86_64 requires yast2_theme >= 3.1.10, but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: yast2-branding-openSUSE-3.1.31-2.1.noarch[repo-oss]
Solution 1: deinstallation of patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts-13.1-13.6.1.x86_64
Solution 2: keep obsolete yast2-x11-3.0.1-2.2.1.x86_64
Solution 3: break yast2-x11-3.1.3-2.1.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Message from package aaa_base:
sysconfig settings for cleaning up temporary directories are no longer
supported. Some of the features are provided by systemd's tmpfile
mechanism instead. Please refer to 'man tmpfiles.d' for more
information.
Here are the old settings for reference:
MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP=0
MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP=0
OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP=root

There are some running programs that use files deleted by recent upgrade. You may wish to restart some of them. Run 'zypper ps' to list these programs.

I did this a long time ago for a different machine and had less issues (lesson learned: don’t wait for too long upgrading):
