Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Yast use zypper under the hood?

Yes, but it works on patches by default. Zypper up uses packages, zypper patch uses patches.

(just a nitpick mostly)

Ok, I have asked this before, and no good answer came up. If they use the same engine, why there is a difference between:

1. zypper up -t package -t patch

This is a strange, just one "-t" will be used I guess.

and

2. using yast, select upgrade all packages if newer version is available.

This is the -t package mode.

The second one provides more packages (speaking about 11.0, I haven't tried with 11.1), and sometimes more conflicts.
