When in Yast Software Management (OpenSuSE 11.1, KDE 4.2.4), the versions of software installed are often incorrect. For example,

Package...........Installed...(Available)
kde4-dolphin...4.2.4-1.11.(4.1.3-3.8.9)...<--- in RED

Yet, in the Versions tab:

4.2.4-1.11-x86_64 (installed)
4.1.3-3.8.9-x86_64 from repo-update
4.2.4-1.11-x86_64 from KDE:42
4.1.3-60.11-x86_64 from Education
4.1.3-3.5-x86_64 from repo-oss

Hmm, so Yast cannot calculate which is the most recent version?

This is likewise the case on many apps throughout, not just KDE apps and not just regarding these repos.

Please don't lecture me about having too many repos. That is not the issue. Yast is able to report the versions in the version tab, but it cannot determine which number is greater than the other?

YET...

Package...........................Installed (Available)
kde4-keditbookmarks...(4.1.3-3.8.9).................<---In BLACK

obviously not installed, but the Version tab reports:

4.1.3-3.8.9-x86_64 from repo-update
4.2.4-1.11-x86_64 from KDE:42
4.1.3-60.11-x86_64 from Education

Why does it show 4.1.3 available, but not 4.2.4?
Priorites are all on 99, except openSUSE-11.1-update at 20.
