I have stopped using zypper after a number of what I would consider strange behaviours. For example, it would "tell" me that there were no updates to be done even though I knew that, say, a new kernel was available - which I knew from doing updates on my wife's computer.
So I now use YaST>Package>All Packages>Update if Newer Packages are available. Works everytime.
I have got to this point in YaST but did not go ahead with actually doing the updates, exited YaST and went to zypper only to find that zypper showed that there was nothing to do; but YaST showed that there was a "ton" of updates to be done. Did you use "zypper patch" or "zypper up"?
These are different modes.
I now always use 'zypper up' because someone here told me that 'up' automatically also does 'patch'. So, to avoid any confusion, I used 'up' in answer to your question.
