From man zypper: [quote] Update Management Commands list-updates (lu) [options] List available updates.
This command will list only installable updates, i.e. updates which have no dependency problems, or which do not change package vendor. This list is what the update command will propose to install. To list all packages for which newer version are available, use --all option. [/quote]
Even the man page could seriously stand improvement. Please avoid technically incorrect language in this context. Problems reported in the forums often result from new TW users who believe update and upgrade are equivalent terms, and use the wrong one for trying to bring their systems fully up-to-date.
Would it be difficult to initiate a manual page entry for 'zypper lu'? Clearly showing that 'list-updates' is for use with Leap *and* not Tumbleweed? -Seasons Best
