Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW patch is going to be installed: kernel No additional space will be used or freed after the operation. Continue? [YES/no]: YES<enter> and get Warning: One of installed patches requires reboot of your machine. Reboot as soon as possible. The next call of the same command leads to the same output. The system currently has installed the old 11.1 and the new kernel-default package. giles:~ # rpm -q --last kernel-default kernel-default-2.6.27.19-3.2.1 Fr 27 Feb 2009 10:47:13 CET kernel-default-2.6.27.7-9.1 So 07 Dez 2008 13:29:04 CET This test was done on a x86_64 system but I see the same issue on a x86 system which has the same zypp conf.

Is it that the reboot message is displayed even if no package is installed? That's not a bug in the sat solver, but in libzypp. (And I find the zypper output highly confusing as we don't install patches at all, but that's another issue...) -- 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.

This happens while calling "zypper patch" and is also the case with the KDE update applet.

(And I find the zypper output highly confusing as we don't install patches at all, but that's another issue...)

I have no idea how else should zypper present this to users. But note that the above case is not valid - if the patch was rendered satisfied, zypper would not propose to 'install' it. -- 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.

If old versions still exist, the buggy applications would exist in the system and could be exploited.
