No, it's not, see c#13
It seems like you're talking about an older zypper (but you're report is filed
against openSUSE 11.1). See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Changes/11.1. zypper
up/lu now updates with newer versions of packages, zypper patch/lp updates via
(official) patches.
yes, explained in c#13. It's not a bug actually, but the documentation can be
improved, as i suggested earlier. Can we settle on that?
@Thomas: we could also add the doUpdate() functionality to YaST (i thought it
was already there somewhere).
well, it won't make your machine useless automatically - it just proposes some
solutions to encountered dependency problems with the user's request (the
request to update some package) - you actually have to choose a (bad) solution
and click Finish to make your system 'useless' - but that's not a bug
(sometimes there is no good solution) and it's not what this report is about

it is actually not quite similar...
yast -> install software -> summary -> all in this list -> update if newer
is supposed to behave exatly the same as "zypper -r up"
No, it's not, see c#13
(without the -r zypper
only handles packages for the official repositories).

up/lu now updates with newer versions of packages, zypper patch/lp updates via

What this bug is about is the fact that yast, used as described above, updates
MORE packages than zypper,

sometimes leading to deinstallation of packages, up
to a degree where a whole desktop environment gets uninstalled... rendering a
machine useless.
