Can someone please help me understand what this means?
Is it something about the priority/severity of the bug that makes the fixed package not show up as an update?
I mean it seems pretty clear to me, that * the package is broken as shipped with the distribution * the fixed package should show up as a regular update
so why doesn't it?
To be released as an online update for 11.2 or previous, first it has to be requested by the people involved then approved by the maintenance team then pushed into the SUSE internal update system. If you feel this bug is important enough to warrant an online update, make your case for it in the bug. After this, it can still take some weeks to enter into the update system, and then be pushed out to users. Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Maintenance https://build.opensuse.org/maintenance It looks like the fix for the bug you mention has gone into a devel project, which is only step one for even getting into Factory. So far noone seems to have requested it be pushed into previous releases. Just my opinion, but I think that the case for this being an update is a bit poor, because you say it has been broken for a long time and noone seems to have noticed till now. But on the other hand, it would be a very simple update - only a single package is affected.
