Why do you want to install those patches? - just switching to the "all patches" section doesn't select the patches for installation. Did you manually select/activate some patches? - if the online update module has nothing to do, it silently exits (without displaying a "nothing to do" message or something like that) If you still think this is a bug, please attach the y2logs (as described on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug ) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So it does not look as a bug any more. However, it is misleading: why display patches which are not relevant to the system? The corresponding software is not installed! I would expect a different scheme: * important patches (security fixes, fixing crashes, fixing majour bugs), * recommended patches (minor bugs and upgrades) In these lists patches would not be shown which are not applicable to this system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But right these are included in "Needed Patches" category. Further distinction (security/recommended) is also there, but on a different level "Unneeded Patches" are those not relevant to your system, and "All Patches" is the union of all, I assume. You could argue that we should not show "Unneeded" at all, but than probably other people would say they want to see really all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
