But if the buildtimes were different then zypper dup should also offer
to reinstall these packages.

The funny thing is that even if I reinstall them, if I execute the
same command again the same packages are offered to be reinstalled
again. Could be a problem with the repo metadata (buildtime mismatch
between the metadata and the RPM)? I don't know how to check the
buildtime in the metadata.
