What has me "confus-ed" (as my late father-in-law used to say [he was Italian]) is that this morning more updates were reported by zypp (or is it zypper?) and when I went to apply them I suddenly (as in yesterday or day before there were none) got a dependency error which I satisfied by not installing compiz-kde-4-0.7.8.24.1.
Then I decided to install smart as the system updater (I have it installed on my "test" system" with the identical (naturally) channels (repositories) I have for zypper/zypp/whatever).
Not only did smart have any problems with dependencies associated with compiz-kde-4* (above) it installed about a dozen updates - even though zypper/zypp was showing no updates to be done only a minute or so before I ran smart.
Results like this don't make for trust about whether oS is being correctly updated. Personally I cannot help accept smart as the more reliable app to update oS.
It's hard to comment without knowing the details of your dependency issues. It could be simply that your first update attempt was in the middle of a sync, and when you tried again it was finished. There were dependency issues when going from 4.1.x to 4.2 (your last update from 4.2RC to 4.2 final was long after that, you must have handled those issues long before) I know that smart at least in the past had issues with 64 bit machines, when the repositories weren't completely in sync and 32 bit packages had higher version numbers, it would suddenly start migrating your system to 32bit, messing everything up in the process. Has that been fixed now? But if you see something in zypper that strikes you as a bug, report it.
