Matthias,
You are quite right, YOU ought to be able to install critical patches. The most likely explanation is that YOU was accessing a mirror site that was not quite up-to-date. Does it still happen?
You *is* up to date.
I wrote that You in fact was up to date because it showed the kernel-update if you "click on 'include installed patches' (dt: installierte Patches einschließen)".
So You knows about the Kernel Update but doesn't show it until you click on "'include installed patches". If you now scroll down you find an entry similar to "kernel optimized for Athlon CPUs". If you then click on it, you see that there is a newer Version ( -100) available.
It's true that YOU knows about the update. On the two systems I have running 8.2, YOU lists all kernel updates except for the kernel installed (k_athlon and k_smp respectivly). I'd probably have found them, had I done as you did...
What I think is: You knows that I have got installed the first Kernel-update and because of that doesn't show the package k_athlon anymore. Some days ago a new k_athlon package has been released (2.4.20-100). But You doesn't show it because it thinks, k_athlon has been installed... So you have to find it manually and select update.
Not true in my case. On both machines, YOU downloads the new patch *if* (when) you proceed... So the conclusions are; YOU knows about the patch, downloads it and ask if you want to install, _but_ it does not show the patch in the list of available patches... -- Anders Zachison Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. -- Albert Einstein
