The url I checked was only the example - but you should know which server are
your YOU downloading the patches from. The server location you choose in the
first dialog of YOU ("Location" entry). Also, the rpm's of the patch you want
to install _are_ visible in the the dialog with patches - just look to the
upper right window, there is a list of packages (with action symbols) for each
patch selected in upper left window.

What do you mean by "occuring of a patch"? AFAIK the rpm's are downloaded
somewhere to /var/lib/YaST2/you directory and than are removed if you "Remove
source packages" checkbox is checked.

Well, I don't know as well - but the language specific packages are probably
not interesting for you (you should know from the patch description if the
patch is for OpenOffice itself or for language-dependent part). My point was
only the fact, that the patches for OpenOffice (the core package itself) can be
very big, and if you are complaining for this, neither of us can do anything
about that.

> I do not know what information you need to track down this bug.

Well, you can attach the YaST log files, so I can see what was happening during
that update. (see
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#I_reported_a_YaST2_bug.2C_and_now_I_am_asked_to_.22attach_y2logs.22._What_does_that_mean.2C_and_how_do_I_do_that.3F)

But I doubt it helps - see more below.

Well, that's not really correct view. For me it looks there might be a problem
that a patch size is shown incorrectly - but what could we do about that? If
that's the problem, we could release a patch for YOU, fixing this. But even if
you could fix your YOU to show correct sizes, it wouldn't help you with really
big patches if you have problem with ICP limits.
YOU in 10.1 is rewritten (as well as the patch calculation procedure), so the
(possible) bug shouldn't stay in later releases.
