You shouldn’t be using packagekit anyway
By packagekit, I assume you mean the updater applet?
What should I be doing?
Yes 6tr6tr the updated applet

I think the only issue though is if you have marked packages as taboo,
packagekit doesn’t respect that. I haven’t had any issues using the
updater applet myself, but I don’t have any packages locked, so that
might be why.

So i used Zypper up, but still getting the notification from updater applet, how do I make the request for the update go away? (I also did this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Software%20Management/system_update.png on the mozilla-nspr)
That may be true for kpackagekit, but the gnome applet works just fine. I’ve been using it for years and never run into problems.
You are correct
But it will still patch and break switches
How do I make the updater applet stop asking me to update mozilla-nspr? I did the thing in your image, but it still asks me.

Anyway without disabling it?
Just get rid of it already. You need that thing like a case of haemorrhoids

don’t use it and wait for it to be fixed…
until it is, don’t use it and instead use YaST Online Updater or zypper…
YaST very nicely respects all updates marked as taboo…

One thing I liked about the updater applet is it alerted me to updates. How do I get zypper or YaST Online Updater to check at regular intervals and alert me updates are available?

Well, with zypper you could set up a cron job - but the notification
might be a little tricky.

if you boot everyday, you can remind yourself to use YaST Online Updates
(YOU) to check each boot, like i do:
use kwrite to make a file /home/[yourID]/.kde/Autostart/checkDaily which
contains:
#!/bin/sh
# to remind me at startup to do a few things
# place this file in /home/[yourID]/.kde/Autostart
kdialog --warningyesno "- Check YOU for updates
- Fetch [whatever]
- Write to [whomever, or do whatever]
- Have a lot of fun!" --title "Did you?"
and make the file executable..
then each time you boot you get a reminder like in this cropped screen shot:
URL: http://paste.opensuse.org/18917143
of course, when kpackagekit is well, you can go back to using it..
