[opensuse] Automatic online update misses patches

I've noticed something weird happening on my 10.2 workstations: even though automatic updates are enabled, the number of patches that the Online Update section of yast2 shows keeps growing. I've issued the command # rug up -y -t patch manually, but rug insist that there is nothing to be installed (--skip-interactive does not affect the result). I've tried to remove rug from the system, but to no avail (well, almost): the update command is now # zypper up -y -t patch, and I succeeded in installing one patch, but still about two dozen others are sitting around without being installed. Any ideas? Thanks, A. -- Ansgar Esztermann Researcher & Sysadmin http://www.mpibpc.mpg.de/groups/grubmueller/start/people/aeszter/index.shtml
