Has this bug been reported on bugzilla? There's so many on there that
seem like they could be applied to this situation. and they all look
like they were reported before 10.1 final..wth is up with that? Does
Novell not read bug reports?

This bug (always showing all patches in YOU, whether they are already
installed or not, whether they are needed or not) is a must-fix for 10.2.

This bug is responsible for many "updating is totally broken and does
not work at all" reports that multiply themselves infinitely and make
supporting the distro quite painful (because if a user in a forum has a
problem like "I cannot apply patches", there is always another user
saying something like "don't even try, it doesn't work at all" faster
than I can explain YOU's behaviour).

It's very frustrating.
