Re: No updates or new software available
You might want to have a look at your repo priorities first. If you need help with this, post output (as root) of
The Packman repo can be set to have a higher priority (with a LOWER priority number). I would also disable the DVD repo (#3). There may be other recommendations to come.

Re: No updates or new software available
I think priority value's are correct? And why disable the DVD? for some basic things or older versions you can always take the DVD>

Re: No updates or new software available
The main reason to disable the install DVD is the incovenience of having to insert the disk. I make the downloaded ISO available from disk via loopback mount (and an NFS export) to minimise Internet downloading, without wasting time manually changing disks.

Re: No updates or new software available
I don't use the VLC repo, but I note that it is commonly recommended not to have the VLC and Packman repo concurrently enabled (because of potential package conflicts), and in order not to have the openSUSE repos overide any installed Packman (multimedia) packages and libraries, it is usual to have a lower priority setting (= higher priority) for this repo.
Anyway, have a read of the relevant sections of this guide:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums

Re: No updates or new software available
In this example, the 'Updates' repo at highest priority 20, then the CVS wine from the repository at 99, and the older version at same priority from the Install DVD. So isn't it doing what it's told to?
In the package manager you might try selecting the WINE package, then in package menu "update all on this list if newer version exists". It gives you more direct control than the Online Update process.
I'm afraid I can't give exact instructions, as I just wiped all my 11.1 installs, replacing them with 11.2 test versions.

If you see correctly i disabled the DVD version but i have an ISO version.
After changing the priority's up and down in every way it still didn't work.
side note: is firefox 3.5 available through the standard repositories? i can't see it.

Re: No updates or new software available
The Packman repo priority really only pertains to multimedia packages. Looking at your wine package, it looks like you're using the latest version (based on the versions shown), so I'm not sure what your trying to do here. In general, though, if several are listed, you can just select the version you want, and click 'Accept', and it will be installed, unless there are conflicts.
side note: is firefox 3.5 available through the standard repositories? i can't see it.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5 is available from this repo:
