Too many arguments.                        
Usage:

Wrong usage of zypper... you can zypper in yast.
...
What I do quiet often is:
su -
zypper lu -t package | awk -F\| '/yast2/ { print $3}' | xargs zypper in
What mere mortal user would ever understand all that, much less remember it?

This updates all the yast2 packages to the latest versions and normally works pretty well.
Advise: run zypper refresh before that.

zypper up is not used to update single packages like this...
So zypper up is not used to update single packages "like this". So is it used like something else? If so, what? I couldn't make out any in the man page, which is reason #2 why I use smart instead of zypper.
