So far so good. An awful lot of stuff got downgraded or not installed. One psarticularly annoying thing was the attempt to make an architectural change to OO to i586.
Question is that when I upgrade using "Software Management > Packages > All Packages > Upgrade if newer pacages exist" is that I don't see any patches being downloaded. Do I have to do that separately? (patches are downloaded by the update module)
It simply means there are no newer versions in the repos you configured. You can double check manually.
You can also filter by repository, display all packages of the repo, and then right click and select upgrade if newer. And see visually the versions available.
Hi Carlos. Yes, I guess I didn't make myself very clear. The question was when you do the upgrade all if newer, does it include all of the patches.
Or, when any package you are interested in upgrading is selected, click on the versions tab, and see the various versions available, and click on any particular one you want.

Bob, I do upgrade all about once a month. BUT, when I upgrade, I know what repositories I have installed and I know what packages will be updated. If I have a question about whether a repository "might" cause a problem, I disable it before performing the update. You can look at my repo list at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_10.3/repodata/snv_zypper.repo Aside from packman, there are no conflicting repositories and I know how to handle the resolver cases there. -- David C.
