So it can not be determined by looking at zyppers exit code if the package got actually upgraded or not. To do automatic update tests this is necessarya s else the ouput from zypper would have to be parsed to determine that success of the test. Howto repeat: Install a package from GA. Now upgrade the package to the latest available version using zypper and check its return code => it's 0 After the package got upgraded, run the zame command again so that zypper does not upgrade the package as the latest version is already installed and check the return code again => it's zero e.g: ----------------------snip----------------------------- linux:/suse/chuller/Wip/studio/scripts/maintenance # /usr/bin/zypper -n install -l -y -t patch slestsosp0-pigz=2499 Loading repository data...
