zypp knows 5 different types or "resolvables"

package - all RPM packages including patch and delta packages

patch - update of the packages, it can include special scripts and messages

pattern - group of packages

language - group of packages with language support

product - group of packages, which are necessary to install a product

"zypper update" just updates patches, "zypper up -t package" works with
packages.

see zypper(8) for more information.
