Is it zypper in <package> or zypper up <package> or both?
in = install
up = update
But if you use in you should get the same result.
zypper in <package>

careful with the words you use, “upgrade” and “update” are not the same…
open a terminal and type/enter
man zypper
info zypper
check, i may be wrong but i believe ‘in’ will install…
while ‘up’ will update (not upgrade) what IS installed, if an update
is available…
and if you “up <package>” when no update is available it will fail…
if you do not have <package> installed and type “up <package>” i think
it will fail as there is nothing installed to update…
if you have <package> installed and type “in <package>” i don’t know
what it does, maybe it asks if you want to RE-install it (that is lay
newly downloaded code over what is already installed), or maybe it fails…
update is done to make minor changes to fix a bug or repair a
security problem…usually the version number changes very little,
maybe just the build number changes…there is no boost in capability…
upgrade changes the capability of the software, adds
functions…always has a change in the version number…
there is no way with zypper to upgrade (say) Firefox 2.0 to Firefox
3.0 without changing the enabled repos…
