Every morning when I boot up the system, the fist thing I do is to run 'zypper'. Which is what I did this morning. There were a couple of 'patches' to be installed. But then some hours later, while I was looking for a file in YaST, I did a check on updates/upgrades which have to made under the "Package>All Packages>Update if newer packages available" and found a large number of packages to be updated/upgraded. However, most of these were related to LibreOffice, which I install manually and directly from libreoffice.org, I ignored them. But was surprised to see that some 6 packages were listed as needing updating to new versions and all had to do with 'vlc'. The puzzling thing is is that vlc was installed from packman, the updates were to come from packman, and packman has a priority level of 95 set in Yast - which I assumed was also honoured by zypper. Anyway, no big deal re this, but I am flagging the idea that if one is always solely relying on zypper to update/upgrade your system then occasionally use YaST just to keep zypper honest :-) .
