As far as I can tell, they should both be using the exact same repositories.. right? Well, the Updater applet tells me that I have a few dozen apps that can be updated to a newer version (Upgrades tab). If I look in Install Software, everything is up to date. If I use the Updater applet to upgrade the apps it says are upgradeable, it goes off and does as it's told. Then if I look in the Install Software app, ALL of the upgraded apps show as red indicating I'm using a newer version than is available in the repositories.

So.. what's up? How do I resync things... or more importantly, how is it that they are out of sync since.. I assume... they use the same repos and the same RPM database, and the same backend for managing and installing updates....

Usually newer packages are available on a regular basis via the Backports repository.

I would recommend using Software Management. Check the Software Repositories and see if something is enabled. If you do or do not want to upgrade the packages you can always disable them.

I know how to set up my repositories, and I am not using the Backports repository... just the defaults plus KDE4 Factory... The problem is (as I tried to explain) that the updater applet "sees" a _different_ set of upgradeable apps, and will upgrade (if I tell it to) to versions NOT available via the Software Installer (YaST). The upgraded apps show as red in the Software Installer after I run the update applet. This should be the SAME RPM database... the SAME repo list... right? Why does one see different installable versions over the other? Is this something I've broke somehow?
