Updater issue

[user]

Hi,

I’m using OpenSuse 10.3

I am told daily by the updater that “New Software for your system is
available”. It also ALWAYS says:
“x install 2 recommended updates additionally”

These 2 additional updates are always present, and never seem to
actually install. This means my system is always telling me new
software is available.

Any ideas how I can clear these?

Many thanks
Christian

Hi
Try it from the CLI then (console/konsole);

sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up

The first command refreshes the repositories, the second lists any
updates, the third will apply the updates.

If that doesn’t work a read here;
Package
Manager Cleanup

Note the script has an error, the correct one is here;
SDB:Speed
up Package Manager Stack - openSUSE
