If you answer "d"etails to the Continue prompt of zypper, it will show that the version+release does not change (-> reinstall, not update) but the vendor does.
I'm not seeing that. The vendor is "openSUSE" for the packages already installed, as well as the packages in the repo that zypper wants to reinstall.
On a fresh 11.2 rc1 system, 'zypper dup' wants to reinstall 172 packages. I did notice that they are all noarch packages.
For it's classification zypper does not explicitly look at the buildtime. Zypper calls it reinstall, if the edition stays the same. But the solver would not have selected the package if nothing had changed (arch, vendor, repo, buildtime).
The build time and build host differ.
The problem with noarch packages is they exist twice: once built "for x86_64" and once built "for i586". The repo generation is supposed to prefer one over the other to avoid such problems, but it doesn't always work - it seems to me.
