Having cut over to the CURRENT KDE repositories, I have some packages that are offered both by KDE and some portion of Opensuse.
These show up in YAST as red version numbers "(installed)available" and the version from KDE Current is invariably the one listed as Available, and it is a LOWER version than the currently installed one.
One (of many) examples: SCANLITE

Now I would expect that the KDE version would be the latest, because that repository is newer, and the build time is later than the version that is installed.
But because someone is playing fast and loose with the version numbers, the older one has a later version number.
That older version came from repository KDE:Extra / KDE_Release_412_openSUSE_12.3 PRIOR to the creation and publication of the CURRENT kde extra repositories.
Why is this?
Why does the old (no longer visible) KDE EXTRA repository have newer versions than the NEWly created CURRENT branch?
What should be done with the RED Yast entries? Just ignore them in the hopes that they eventually sort themselves out? (Some NEVER will, because the version numbers differ so wildly).
Two things, John: have you allowed "Allow vendor change"; and have you tried using the VERSION option for each entry and select the one you want (but first deleting the "wrong" one from, say, the old KDE:Extra)? Also, (three and four :-) ), what does zypper show, and what priority settings do you have for the repos in YaST - is the new KDE:Current given priority over the old repos?
