I do this every once in awhile. When in YaST you will the package shown in red. click on the check mark till turns into the "Z" symbol which tells YaST to install the package whether it is older, the same or newer. It is the equiv of --oldpackage. I think it will also sort out the dependencies as well.
I'm confused on my system when I get the 'Z' on a red item the caption says update.
Something that helps me make up my mind is to click (hilite) a package in the left YaST panel, then go to the right YaST panel and position the cursor over the line for the package. A small window pops up, telling me the *level* of the package as it is currently installed in my system, and the level of the package that *would* be installed if I told YaST to go ahead with the update for that package. mikus
