What happens if you try "zypper in bashdb".
My guess is that you get a warning that the package is about to change vendor.
It seems packman changed the vendor string in bashdb, and zypper will generally not install a package from a vendor not previously listed in its vendor file, unless you force it (with zypper in).
You are right about the change of vendor (output below.) In that case I think it is a bug for zypper up not to report the reason for its inaction -- particularly once zypper lu is reporting an update. (I said 'no' to the installations so we can continue to look at this.) xxx> sudo zypper in bashdb Reading installed packages...
