Does this mean that libzypp is the only thing I have to upgrade? For long, YOU has not worked for me. I always manually download RPMs via FTP and install them. I see ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/update/10.1/rpm/i586/libzypp-1.1.0-1.11 .i58 6. rpm so I can download and install this. Is that all?
Well I downloaded libzypp-1.1.0-1.11.i586.rpm and libzypp-zmd-backend-7.1.1.0-42.21.i586.rpm and when I try to install it, I get:

*Now* what do I do?
If you want to install the rpm files one by one and not deal with dependency issues then use rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps filename.rpm
This is probably the worst thing to do to install rpm packages and it is the surest way to tank your installation. Dependencies are there for a reason, so that all required libraries are installed to support the program.
-- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 I agree. But since I could not get the updater to work and I did not immediately know about the Smart updater program and at first I could not get Yast to take the Suse package management directory as an update source, I was forced to use the Genghis Khan software installation method.

This is a last ditch resort for people. The Smart program is very elegant and solves the problem nicely.
