Yes, or something I got today when updating 11.4 Evergreen after two
weeks or more of not checking. In the list of patches on the left, there
were a bunch of updates under the heading “security”, and several lines
below, there was another heading as “recommended” with more packages.
I’m unsure of the exact headings, I did not make a note of it.
I mean that in the left panel list of patches there can be several
sections, I thought that was what amarildojr was seeing.
On some occasions, there is an update to yast or zypper libraries, and
more updates. The zypper patches are selected already, the rest are
unmarked. You run that update, yast (YOU) restarts automatically, and
the second part of the list is now ticked.
Typically, YOU (Yast Online Update) knows what to do safely.
There are exceptions - for example, if you have upgraded KDE from the
extra repos, you can get conflicts with some patches that get proposed
later. By default, patches have preference, but in this case it is wrong.
