IMO no bug:
The "Online Update" function of YaST processes patches only, i.e. officially
released packages for a distibution fixing bugs or security holes.
This is something different than 'just' updating all the installed packages to
newer versions available in any of the available repositories; like e.g 'zypper
up' would do.
The problem here is that YaST performed the update based on the 11.3 ISO. After
the package update is done, the online repos were added. AFAIK the ISO does not
contain mercurial, that's why it did not get updated. And the "Online Updates"
performed later on are not suitable to update any packages introduced by the
online repos.
IMO the best would be to perform the update based on the online repos, or at
least perform a 'zypper dup' after the update from ISO in order to introduce
the latest versions of all packages.
Downside of the 2nd way is, that installed packages which are not available on
the ISO and which do get involved into some dependency conflict, may get
deleted by the solver. If there is no enabled repo providing a package, the
package is considered as being discontinued, thus the solver prefers to delete
it rather than not updating some well known package.
