Listmates,
I enjoy working from the cli and like zypper, but I'm stumped as to why zypper lu or zypper up shows no updates available while Yast -> software management -> packages -> all packages -> update if newer shows 500M of updates?
When running zypper, it goes through and refreshes each repo the same as yast does, so I would expect it to list all updates as well. It doesn't.
Why does zypper go through each repo if it doesn't get the updates from each repo? Is there a way I can make it do that? Why is zypper missing the updates yast finds. Did you try to read the: zypper lu --help
Try this
zypper lu -t package and zypper up -t package
lu and up only deals with patches by default

For the future googlers, here is the output from zypper lu --help
embla:~ # zypper lu --help list-updates [options]
List all available updates
Command options: -t, --type <type> Type of resolvable (package, patch, pattern, product) (default: patch) -r, --repo <alias> List only updates from the repository specified by the alias. --best-effort Do a 'best effort' approach to update, updates to a lower than latest-and-greatest version are also acceptable.

Hi, I'm new to zypper too. According to the differences between using zypper lu/up and zypper lu/up -t package, which one do you suggest to use in order to update a system?
Valerio
evidently you need to use up -t package. Without the -t package, it doesn't update the packages with newer versions. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
