Ok, maybe it was my mistake, but I thought, that zypper update will "Update installed packages with newer versions."

Yes, but it deals with 'patches' by default, you must add -t package to make it work with packages. See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage#Update_Management I'll keep this bug to provide a better description for the update command in the help texts and to fix this unfortunate output: [08:39] root@ucl01121:~# zypper up libraptor1 Package 'libraptor1' is not installed. It should say something like "no patch is needed for libraptor1". (Or to do what 'zypper up -t package librator1" currently does :O) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
