And its not apper's fault.
So what you want is to revert the decision to show all non-vendor-change updates. After that you will have the request to show them again. Once you allow to add third party repos they might also contain security-relevant updates, hence showing them does make some sense.
The only solution I see is to provide a GUI-option to switch the behaviour.
If you want to prevent users from screwing-up their system apper is not the piece of software to look at. You will have to restrict one-clicks-installs, zypper up and YaST's non-YOU update functionality.
It is a combination of blame between one click and apper - and by apper I include all the frontends to package kit however they are called. 1) The user activates many repos, some duplicated, as a result of using one click. 2) The user installs mixed updates from any repos, as a result of using apper. The result of this combination is a broken system. Another problem in multiuser environments is that not all users should have the applet running, nor should they be prompted to do updates. This is a thing for the admin user to decide. So it should be possible to limit which users run it, perhaps by adjusting the permissions of the applets. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
