Excellent, looks like this is quite needed ;)

Done.

FYI, I did apply the updates from your previous directory before.

Worked like described above.

Here a popup window appeared, stating: "Error: Cannot stop
'/etc/init.d/novell-zmd' service". I clicked OK, and the inst_source
module finished. Not sure if this is critical. Are there any logs that
would help here? Bugzilla?

Done.

Hmm, the applet stayed in the KDE panel for me. To be safe, I restarted
it manually. Strange, before I restarted it, I stated that 11 patches
are available. After the restart, these are gone (no orange exclamation
mark anymore). Bugzilla?
