I seem to have a conflict between zypper and kdeupdate, using the default packagekit backend, according to the kdeupdate there are no updates available for my desktop, but zypper lu shows this:

vendion@SE-02:~> sudo zypper lu

Is anyone else seeing this with the packagekit backend as well?

Note that in 11.0 “zypper lu” mean “zypper lu -t patch” while in 11.1 it means “zypper lu -t package”.
By default the “kdeupdate” does the equivalent to “zypper lu -t patch”, so you should compare with that.

…but yes, I enabled the “kdeupdate” option to also check packages (not just patches) and it seems to ignore it. I just removed the applet and never double checked the problem, but it could be a bug… if so, report it at http://bugzilla.novell.com/.

They really should put stuff like this in the Release notes, anyways is it possible to change zypper so that it defaults to packages rather than packages having to add “-t patch” every time will get annoying.
