Since I’m continuing to experience this problem using OpenSUSE 12.2 x64 on an AMD/Sabertooth 990FX based system, I thought I’d see if I can add any new information after reading and following the advice I see posted here. The problem reported is currently the only issue I have as my system (Phenom x6 T1100, 8G RAM, SSD) is otherwise running well and quick. All other updates/patches appear to be applied (according to Apper) and my system has been rebooted from a full power-off state. I am concerned this issue may be suggesting an otherwise “hidden” problem.
1) Apper continues to provide the same error reported by Dilireus 12-Mar-2013 and is still insisting 1 Nagios-plugins update is still pending.
2) As root; “zypper up” appeared to work and provided the following messages, trimmed to a Summary level:

3) After reboot “zypper ps” shows a clean slate:

Nothing to do.
**Is what Apper reports a “real” problem? Or a false positive?
Is there a way to tell Apper to clear its sights on Nagios-plugins if this isn’t “real”?
**
Should I be concerned about the packages zypper reports it is not going to update?
Thank you,
