Adam,
A few days ago there was a discussion about this bug, but I didn't save it and don't recall the resolution there. However, updates using "Yast-Online Update" and "zypper up" work great for security updates.
If you want to update all packages to the latest version, then:
Yast->Software Management->Packages->All Packages->Update if Newer Version Available
and
zypper up -t package
work great.
Thanks for the reply, yea I know YOU and zypper works the only reason I set up the automatice online updates is that I am not always able to get access to the machine (both physically and remotely) and knowing that any security updates that gets released makes me feel better about leaving the machine up. Is this issue in the bugzilla? -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure." Karl Popper
