YAST update indicates one security update to ssl. The update is not installable without downgrading the Network Manager. Downgraded Network Manager. Checked again, now Gnome broken, requires a downgrade to the Network Manager. I just did that. Followed the instructions and now the following message:
NetworkManager-0.9.8.8-10.1.x86_64 requires ppp = 2.4.5, but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: ppp-2.4.5-20.1.2.x86_64[openSUSE-13.1-1.10]

Yeh like I understand all that. Now, OK the system works, but still wants me to install a patch which will want me to downgrade the Network Manager again and then will break Gnome again, even though I use K. I think there is something wrong with the original patch. Who do I flag this up to or how do I fix it and know I have a secure system. Sorry if this is the wrong place to come to. I have to go to a Governance meeting today so will not get back till after 16.00 UK time. Thank you for you help.
