I’ve been getting this for awhile but never really thought much of it but I get a long list of packages when I do an update with zypper. I didn’t know if my situation was similiar to the post http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/441667-long-list-following-package-updates-will-not-installed.html because our packages aren’t the same.

In my experience, this happens when the updated package is in a different
repository. You can override it by going into YaST’s software management
and electing to install the updated packages.

I have no problem receiving updated packages when I do an update I just always see those listed under “The following package updates will NOT be installed:”.

From the referenced post I tried zypper dup -r pacman and received

For example, because updating would mean a change of vendor. No problem. It
is just informing you.

I was just doing what was recommended in the referenced thread that actually fixed the issue…

Well, yes, and that’s because they’re from a different repo than they
were originally updated from.

As for why the zypper dup fails, it seems that some dependencies aren’t
met and that’s why it fails.

I think what you really want is “zypper dup --from pacman” it is not
exactly the same as with -r.

You must remember that the message “The following package updates will NOT
be installed:” is not a problem. It is as if you take your car to the
repair shop and they tell you that they will not replace the wheels. So
what? Do they need replacing? It just means that he has wheels of titanium
type but you have not authorized titanium explicitly.

A zypper dup to packman will replace all sort of packages, not just
multimedia, to the packman version, and that is not necessarily good.
