I was just able to reproduce the bug, with the package ktorrent-lang. I
modified zypper-install as recommended in a comment above, and now know the
reason why the command fails: opensuseupdater fails when the provider of a
package changes. The new version of ktorrent-lang required a new version of
ktorrent, which comes from a different source than the installed version. YaST
simply installs the new version without question (does not ask for confirmation
because of the change of provider), but opensuseupdater fails silently.
Clearly, one of these behaviours is wrong, as the user would expect to be
either asked never, or asked by both applications. The best solution probably
would be to have some configuration option like "it's OK if the provider
changes to one of X Y Z, ask me in all other cases", so that the user can
provide default rules.
Anyway, it's nice to finally know the reason for this bug.
