[...] 2 differences: On the one hand "Install and remove software" uses lower php version php4-4.3.8-8.2 then what "online update" uses But the php-modules like php4-devel-4.3.8-8.2 are of an higher version in "Install and remove software" then what "online update" uses

I checked these facts on suse ftp server and 2 mirror servers.

What does this mean and is this normal ?

This is known and expected behaviour as YaST Online Update is no installation source for the rest of yast2. You have to re-run YOU each time you install new software to also get the patches for it. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
