Wrong usage of zypper... you can zypper in yast.

What I do quiet often is:
su -
zypper lu -t package | awk -F\| '/yast2/ { print $3}' | xargs zypper in

This updates all the yast2 packages to the latest versions and normally works 
pretty well.
Advise: run zypper refresh before that.


zypper up is not used to update single packages like this...
