So why is it that zypper lists fewer available updates than the applet? Is this a bug or working as expected? The online update actually runs "zypper" in the background. zypper by default shows only the patches (released by SUSE), not all package updates (in the OBS and other repos).
...and that approach is the best at the moment since Zypper currently doesn't have a feature which will do repo prioritization. I experienced some package conflicts with Packman repo, so I do 'zypper update' (default behavior for the applets, as I figured) rather than 'zypper update -t package'. If I explicitly want to update some Packman's package, I do the check for all the updates avaliable, then I do 'zypper install foo1-pm.rpm foo2-pm.rpm' which also updates selected packages. SmartPM can handle situations like this, but I decided to follow openSUSE developers' advice and use recommended tool Zypper. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec
