Actually if you update all packages, then none of the remaining patches should be relevant for your system, so they wont show as "needed". Patches are just a different view, where the grouping is by "problem" and not per package.

Actually this could be made to work. You would need to set the "update system" flag in the sat solver plus install all patch selectables that are not irrelevant.

[zypp-devel] show accessed mirror
by Peter Poeml 01 Oct '08

Hi, would it be possible to show the mirror which is accessed when downloading a package? (Technically, the download client is following redirects and the actualy URL needs to be shown, not just the first URL that was contacted but that redirected to another URL) It is a long-standing problem that this information is lacking and it makes debugging and optimizing much harder than necessary, because this information is only available deeply buried in some logfile. We need this information for two reasons: 1) Debugging - to see which URL was accessed when something goes wrong, like a mirror timing out. For example, Whenever a mirror returns garbage, it takes a lot of additional time to find out which one, because all reports are lacking the critical detail, and it is usually hard to find it out later. 2) Optimizing the load sharing between different mirrors - to distinguish slow mirrors from fast ones. For example, I am very much in need of information about the situation in the US, but even though people in the US run installations for me and are willing to send me logs, I can't get this information.
