I just tried (but did not execute) a zypper up on my 12.3 system. The unusual thing is that nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop, which is currently installed, is listed both under packages that 'will NOT be installed' as well as 'NEW packages are going to be installed'. Hmm. There are a few kernel packages that are also listed in both places.
I don't dare do an update at this time. Anyone else see this? I have only the basic 12.3 repos defined.
When you have "multiversion" enabled for zypp (in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf), you have this as an effect. For example, you have nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-319.17_k3.7.10_1.1-12.1 in your system. When you do a "zypper up", and the latest version of nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop has a version beginning with 319.17_k3.7.10_1.1, the package will not be updated. When the latest version is newer than 319.17_k3.7.10_1.1 (like 319.17_k3.7.10_1.4), the package will be installed. Also, when you use Tumbleweed, you are used to see that the kernel is not updated though a newer version is available, you have to trigger it manually. Except for the cases where patches for the kernel are available, then you get the newest version...
