Hi,
please read carefully the README.txt file at

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/

Extract:
"
The patch summary should show a couple of patches and **select only**
 the "libzypp update" (with a black mark).  Press "Accept" to apply
 the update.  It will take some time to download packages and install
 them.
"

You have to follow the instructions step by step in the README.txt file not to mess with the tests, and then you'll certainly have a machine with updates OK!

Don't forget to post your feedback
