Apparently not and I think you did nothing wrong with the big enough time gap.
I just wonder why the yast automatic online update did not do what I expected
it to do. And I am even assuming I did something wrong configuring it but I do
not understand what hence my kinq request for someone with better understanding
of the yast+zypper logs can help me understand what went wrong.
