I've encountered a rather strange behaviour with this bug - happened twice to
me, on different machines:
1. opensuseupdater shows that patches and upgrades are available
2. I select all patches and all upgrades, click install
3. prompt for root password, but no installation
4. opensuseupdater still shows the same patches and updates as being available
5. I select only the patches, not the upgrades, click install
6. patches AND UPGRADES are installed by the updater
This does not seem to be related to the issue with the dependency problem, but
as I said, I also encountered the original bug when there was no dependency
problem (i.e., YaST could install all patches without a problem). So this is
probably another issue than the one that has been addressed by most of the
comments, but it's the original issue that I filed the bug about. Maybe the
best way would be to split this up into two bugs.
The behaviour as described above is hard to reproduce, I would guess the best
steps would be:
7. Wait until many patches and upgrades are available
8. Start YaST, select "update all if newer version is available", DO NOT START
THE UPGRADE, just check if we have conflicts
9. If any conflicts arise, uninstall the packages that have dependency problems
10. Exit YaST
11. Refresh opensuseupdater, now only the upgrades with no dependency issues
should be shown
12. Proceed as in step 1 of the bug description in the beginning of this
comment
I cannot reproduce this right now because at the moment, my systems are up to
date and I'm stuck at point 7. I will try over the next few days.
