Thanks, will give that a try later today and post results here
I also spent ½ an hour on this issue this morning –

Information for package gio-branding-openSUSE:
----------------------------------------------
Repository : repo-oss (16.0)
Name : gio-branding-openSUSE
Version : 42.1-lp160.3.1
Arch : noarch
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 8.2 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : glib2-branding-openSUSE-42.1-lp160.3.1.src
Upstream URL : http://www.gtk.org/
Summary : openSUSE definitions of default settings and applications
Description :
This package provides openSUSE defaults for settings stored with
GSettings and applications used by the MIME system.
Requires : libgio-2_0-0 = 2.84.3
>
The problem/error is that, the “gio-branding-openSUSE” package requires EXACTLY version 2.84.3 of the “libgio-2_0-0” package –
- Unfortunately the current version of the “libgio-2_0-0” package is 2.84.4 …
It seems that, whoever it is who maintains the “gio-branding-openSUSE” package, for whatever reason, didn’t specify “greater than or equal to” on the requirement for the “libgio-2_0-0” package version … 
Does anyone know what the differences are between openSUSE defaults and the upstream defaults for “GSettings”?
- Are the two “gio-branding” packages mutually exclusive?
For the moment, I’ve removed the “gio-branding-openSUSE” package and, am only using the “gio-branding-upstream” package.
You can compare.

I would say zypper dup is completely wrong, because it is intended for something else.
Simply uninstalling branding openSUSE is possible, but I wouldn’t do it unless you are aware of what will happen.
Here is the defaults.conf from

It’s rare I use a GUI update tool (esp. one not dedicated to openSUSE) and do the command line stuff.
So, out of curiosity of this thread, I thought I’d jump into Leap 16 install and run a “zypper up”.
Here’s a partial output from that run:
machine :~ # zypper clean -a
All repositories have been cleaned up.
machine :~ # zypper -vv up

openSUSE
The following 17 packages are going to be upgraded:
MozillaFirefox
[...]
No issues on this update for me. I can provide the full output of “zypper up” if requested. ( there were 17 packages to be updated, overall ).
Therefore, the “gio-branding-upstream” and “gio-branding-openSUSE” packages are mutually exclusive.
- Whichever was installed last will, overwrite ‘/etc/gnome_defaults.conf’
And, as the comment in the upstream configuration file says:
# WARNING: This is a dumb file, which provides only upstream GNOME
# packages as preferred defaults. You most probably don't want this
# package!
# You probably want to install distribution glib2-branding and prefer
# distribution wise GNOME defaults.
Curiously, in both the “upstream” and the “openSUSE” variants there’s this text:
# After any change of this file run
# suse-update-mime-defaults
In other words, I can continue using the “gio-branding-upstream” package, with ‘/etc/gnome_defaults.conf’ from the openSUSE package … 
If I do not take any action and wait, will this be fixed properly by the package maintainer?
I’m not that experienced and afraid I create more issues trying some commands or myrlyn.
There is no bugreport yet. So the maintainer is propably not even aware of the issue.
The “gio-branding-openSUSE” package contains only two files of significance:
/etc/gnome_defaults.conf
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_openSUSE-branding.gschema.override
The upstream package contains only ‘/etc/gnome_defaults.conf’ and some documentation and licensing files.
And, I’m using the KDE Plasma DE anyway …
@hui I will enter a report tomorrow

The same problem here guys… 
This patch is not displayed under zypper up.
It is only displayed under zypper patch.
I don’t understand. But that’s how it is.
Yep 
Should be fixed now, zypper -t patch

Working on my side now… 
Am I understanding this correctly?
Zypper patch only installs patches and zypper up only “normal” updates?
Then, sorry, but that’s complete nonsense.
I would expect zypper up to install everything: updates, bug fixes and security fixes. And zypper patch only security patches.
That’s how it was until now, in my opinion.
Am I wrong? Or has something changed?
And I was right.
I have now run zypper up and a zypper patch no longer shows anything.
A zypper up updates EVERYTHING.
@ecsos correct as it should normally do, but in this case up skipped the patches, so you could use up collect the updated packages and then zypper -t patch later to collect the stragglers.
Thanks, the zypper up and zypper -t patch also worked here
Thanks for the welcome, and support! Much appreciated
