Or just use yast.
Really, I don't understand this infatuation with relearning the command line of the underlying utility that Yast uses, since the underlying tools have changed twice in the time I've been using yast.
I had been using yast for all these things. However, when I discovered that yast is not updating everything zypper does, I decided to see about using zypper more. There were over more than 200 packages that yast did not pick up, but zypper did. In Yast, in Software Maintenance -> View -> Package Groups, I select All Packages. Then I select Package -> All In This Group -> Update If Newer Version Available. In past releases, I think this was getting all updates. Seems less thorough than zypper dup. -- You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them.
