Thanks Wolfgang, the acceptance of the patch behaved exactly as you predicted:
mozilla-xulrunner190 was updated to version 1.9.0.14-0.1.1.x86_64, and the
Updater icon is now green once more. It was easier to understand after your
explanation, but I would not have worked that out for myself from the
information presented. I found the situation to be confusing.
For a start, the Warning dialog mentions 'patch:MoxillaFirefox-1312.noarch',
which I couldn't find on the updates website, nor by searching in YaST itself
(in the 'noarch' directory in both cases). I couldn't understand why
'MozillaFirefox-1312' needed updating if it didn't exist on my system. The fact
that it 'conflicts with mozilla-xulrunner190.x86_64 < 1.9.0.14-0.1.1 provided
by mozilla-xulrunner190-1.9.0.13-1.2.x86_64' made little headway in clearing up
the matter.
Perhaps if it had said that 'patch:MoxillaFirefox-1312.noarch provides an
updated version of mozilla-xulrunner190-1.9.0.14-0.1.1.x86_64', it might have
given me a clue. So the expression in that dialog could stand improvement.
The other source of confusion was the announced 'Conflict Resolution', which
was to 'install mozilla-xulrunner190-1.9.0.14-0.1.1.x86_64' (that part was
clear enough) but '(with vendor change)' to 'openSUSE Build Service' really
threw me. Because, from the Technical Data tab, the Vendor for the Installed
Version was 'openSUSE Build Service' and the Vendor for the Alternate Version
was 'openSUSE'. That is, the existing version was 'openSUSE Build Service' and
it needed a vendor change to 'openSUSE Build Service' (??). That seemed like a
mistake to me, so I wasn't happy proceeding with the update (thus this bug
report).
It's certain that there is no problem with the Updater Applet code, but the
display of the information, to me, prompts for the wrong version (as per this
bug title) to be updated, causing confusion. Changing the way the information
is presented could fix that.
