Not sure if this should be assigned to either KDE. If packagekit is not the failing part, I guess it should. If the kde updateapplet cannot show those 3rd party updates because packagekit lacks some functionality, it seems not to be a KDE issue. In the latter case bug 418277 is a duplicate. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Next time there will be upgrades in Packman for me, I will see if it works now and report back. I agree that this bug is probably related to PackageKit. Unfortunately I never tried the PackageKit backend in 11.0, since the zypp backend was the default there. So when I said "It worked in 11.0" I was referring to the 11.0 default setting (zypp plugin), not to the updater working correctly with the PackageKit plugin. If PackageKit is indeed lacking functionality to handle 3rd party updates (i.e. there is no fix that doesn't involves a big load of work), maybe an easy fix could be to gray out the "show available upgrades when backend provides them" option in the updater if the PackageKit plugin is selected. This way non-working functionality wouldn't be advertised to the user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You are right, the settings dialog should gray out
