Hi,
With the changes to zypper from openSUSE 11.2 to openSUSE 11.3 I am still confused as to the mechanism that gets me the results I am after.
One of the additional repositories I have configured on the system is
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances/openSUS...
as I want to track the Kiwi development packages. After I upgraded the machine from openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3 I ran
zypper install kiwi-LATEST_VERSION_AT_THE_TIME
and chose to change the "vendor" for the Kiwi packages to be the Appliances repo. With this I figured that future "zypper up" usage would get me the latest packages of kiwi. That does not appear to be the case. I also tried "zypper patch" and it still does not pick up the packages from the Appliances repo.
When I use the YaST GUI to manage software I can see the updated Kiwi packages and can click on them to get the latest version.
What do I have to do to get zypper to pull these packages via "zypper up" or "zypper patch"?
Thanks, Robert

I don't know the answer, but zypper search -s <package name> should show what repo your current package came from and what other packages are available in what repos. Once you understand the issue better you may be able to run: zypper dup --from <appliance-repo> And get more packages to change their source to the <appliance-repo>.
