From time to time zypper lists a range of packages 'NOT to be installed' when "zypper up". Funny enough all the listed packages are actually installed, so the message is either wrong or actually means "NOT to be updated".
The attached screenie shows the issue. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: The message should not appear -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you please check actual versions/archs of some of the packages (both installed ones and to-be-installed - hit 'v', then 'a', then 'g' at the Continue prompt)? If it's only architecture that is different there, then it's bug 600184 as you suggest in c#1. But if the version really differs, then all is probably OK. (In reply to comment #0)
Funny enough all the listed packages are actually installed, so the message is either wrong or actually means "NOT to be updated".
The message actually says "The following package _updates_ will NOT be installed", thus it means "will NOT be updated". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nonetheless the wording could be simplified, I'd say. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm wondering though if the user might want to see a reason why packages are actually left out. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
