Nothing to do.

The following packages are going to be reinstalled: libqjson0 marble
2 packages to reinstall. Overall download size: 2.9 MiB. No additional space will be used or freed after the operation. Continue? [y/n/?] (y): n
If "zypper dup --from kde4_factory" thinks that two packages need to be reinstalled (meaning they need to be "updated", just that the new packages have the same version and release number?) "zypper dup" should at least try to reinstall these same packages? With "--repo"
Dup does not update, it arranges the packages being installed from specific repositories.
"zypper dup --from kde4_factory" will install the package from kde4_factory. If 'zypper dup' did not want to touch them, then you had the same version installed, but from a different vendor/repo.
Different vendor would be reported by zypper. The reinstall can be caused by different buildtimes IIRC. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
