Hi list,

some more details on the issues reported in my original post, using the
same numbers as there (I cite the old mail for reference) - plus two new
issues, one of them related:

1) One upgrade for "smolt" was shown in the detailed view (went away
when I installed the patch). Other upgrades (provided by packman I think
- naming of upgrades in YaST does not quite work, see point 6) are not
shown. I added the Factory repository, and these upgrades were shown
correctly. So it seems to be a problem depending on the repository -
does upgrading packages from the packman repository via kupdateapplet
work for anyone?

2) The problem of having to enter the root password twice seems to go
away when switching to zypper. The original error message was a
packagekit message, so that makes sense.

3+4) Went away when switching to zypper.

5) (more a kdesu problem than kdeupdateapplet I guess): The kdesu dialog
does not have an "ignore" button, although the text says that you can
press it

6) In YaST, when checking "available versions" of the newly available
packages, the repository names are wrong. For example, for kaffeine,
YaST shows a version "0.8.7-2.pm.2-i586 from repo_2", but in the
repository manager, there is no repository with that name. This might be
related to issue 1 (upgrades not shown for some repositories), since
there seems to be an inconsistency with the available metadata.

If I can help with fixing these issues, please let me know - I have had
many problems with the updater applications (both opensuseupdater and
kupdateapplet), so I'd really be happy if this would work better in 11.1

See you,
   Henning
