It is tumbleweed. You might want to look over somebody's shoulder, when (s)he tries to give the appropriate input in your user's "interface". *hrmph* Do you truly think this entry into your bugzilla is self explaining / -evident how to input needed data? I don't doubt it you love it, is hallowed and of venerable age but you just might want to try to look it anew and impartially for once ;-). *hrmph again* It is "YAST online update" (or, in German, "Online-Aktualisierung") which finds no updates.

I do not understand this question. I did not write about zypper, but YAST?!? I realize that it is a frontend for zypper, but I don't know about the one-to-one implementation in YAST... I'm sorry for any grumpyness, but I'm trying to be of help and all this is not exactly making this easy.
