Doing daily update via zypper.

Last night zypper reports the following packages to be updated/installed:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
* Reading installed packages [100%]

The following packages are going to be upgraded:
libasound2 glib2 htdig xorg-x11
The following NEW patches are going to be installed:
htdig glib2 gnome-screensaver alsa
[...]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

But it in reality the above output about installation of NEW patches was wrong.
Doing a "rpm -qa --last | head" shows the following changed/installed packages:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
xorg-x11-7.2-135.4 Wed Dec 5 06:03:02 2007
htdig-3.2.0b6-110.2 Wed Dec 5 06:02:54 2007
glib2-2.14.1-4.2 Wed Dec 5 06:02:50 2007
libasound2-1.0.14-31.2 Wed Dec 5 06:02:46 2007
kernel-default-2.6.22.13-0.3 Mon Dec 3 11:51:42 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This confuses customer, as zypper seems to install new packages, which where
never needed, e.g. gnome-screensaver (for headless machine), or alsa (for
machine in ISP server farm).
