Finally started to read the zypper man page after using it since 11.2. Is there a better place to get really acquainted with zypper? What I learned is that man pages are still not written for normal users. It is e.g. still not clear to me if zypper uses the repositories which I have chosen in Yast. Thought that there was somewhere a hint in that
All repos are in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ directory and AFAIK yast and zypper use the same repos found in the above directory
direction. Eager to learn more about zypper and how to find locations of repositories I even had a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/URI That page has no content so what remains is the SuSE list before I start looking with google..

It helps ;) Thanks. Becomes a little bit clearer. But one of my problems concerns e.g. updates for openSUSE 11.3 11.3-1.71 which I found with the help of Greg and zypper lr. Does that mean that I only get updates for 11.3 11.3-1.71 which seems 11.3 and a version number. In Yast repositories the input was only http://download.opensuse.org/distribution11.3/rep/oss/ Do I need to change it in zypper?
I'm not sure what you're seeing that says "11.3-1.71". I have: # zypper lr # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh ---+----------------------------+-------------------------+---------+-------- 1 | Kernel:HEAD | Kernel:HEAD | No | No 2 | OpenOffice.org:STABLE | OpenOffice.org:STABLE | No | Yes 3 | Packman_Repository | Packman Repository | Yes | Yes 4 | download.opensuse.org-oss | Main Repository (DEBUG) | No | Yes 5 | download.videolan.org-SuSE | VideoLan Repository | No | Yes 6 | openSUSE-11.3_Contrib | openSUSE-11.3 Contrib | No | Yes 7 | openSUSE:Tools | openSUSE:Tools | No | Yes 8 | repo-11.3-non-oss | openSUSE-11.3 Non-OSS | Yes | No 9 | repo-11.3-oss | openSUSE-11.3 OSS | Yes | No 10 | repo-11.3-update | openSUSE-11.3 Updates | Yes | Yes So my oss repo is 9 and # zypper lr 9 Alias : repo-11.3-oss Name : openSUSE-11.3 OSS URI : http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ Enabled : Yes Priority : 99 Auto-refresh : Off Keep Packages : Off Type : yast2 GPG Check : On GPG Key URI : Path Prefix : Parent Service : MD Cache Path : /var/cache/zypp/raw/repo-11.3-oss And that URI matches what you said you put in Yast.
