Nope, you found a very old ... and tired ... problem. The scenario goes like this. I do a complete update with yast sw_management -> packages -> all packages -> update if newer rpm available. Yast collects a list of all newer rpms and updates. Then I cross-check just for grins with zypper up -t package (old behavior with 'patch' as default). And what do you know, I get a whole new and different list of rpms that zypper thinks I need. So I install them too. No problem -- right? Linda, I have seen this in one way or another since the end of 10.3. I have been using yast for sw updates as described above, so after getting your post, I checked again with zypper. zypper deleted about 10 packages and installed another 15 packages totaling 48M that yast was happily ignorant of. (zypper did catch the fact that multiple versions of gcc44-info were installed and that the rpm 'lzma' was conflicting with '/usr/bin/lzma' installed by xz. I've never seen a firm answer beyond the packages just being different. But after using either or both for years -- it's not something to lose sleep over.
