But we're saying that the "Installed Version" does get populated from the installation source as soon as you apply the patch, right? In other words, Installed Version and Available Version will always stay in sync as long as you keep updating every time an update becomes available.
The value displayed in 'Inst Ver' *always* originates from the rpm database. If you change the status of a package (install, uninstall, apply a patch, upgrade or downgrade) the number displayed in 'Inst Ver' changes accordingly. The value displayed in 'Avail Ver' *always* originates from your defined installation sources. If you have ten sources defined carrying three different versions of a package, the *newest* version available across all of your sources will be displayed in 'Avail Ver' Carl -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
