YaST > Package Groups [TAB] in openSUSE 13.1 appears to show an entry for each available version of a given package.
For example, I have six (6) individual entries for Amarok listed in YaST!
Amarok resides in 3 of my configured repos: KDE:Extra, Oss and Packman. Each repo offers i586 and x86_64 versions. When I select Package Groups [TAB] > Multimedia and scroll through the package list, all six (6) versions are listed one after the other.
The same thing applies to all other apps: there are as many entries as there are versions X number of repositories in which the packages reside. This is surely not the intended behaviour as it is quite confusing.

I have submitted this thread to the bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852073
Based on the screenshot that you provided, this appears to be happening because you clicked the “versions” tab (which is supposed to list all versions).
If you click the “Descriptions” tab, you should get something more familiar.
Yes, the Versions tab lists all available versions as it should, but the package list should only show a single entry per package – as it has always been. In the case of this obvious bug (Access Denied), there are as many entries as there are versions multiplied by the number of enabled sources where a given package is available.

No, it is not that.
I have right now side by side yast from 12.3 and 13.1, both on the same
position (both are virtual machines). On 13.1 the package list
(right-top box) shows several packages for amarok, but 12.3 shows only
one. Yet the version tab on both displays several versions. I can upload
the photo showing both yast versions if it is wanted.
It is a genuine bug.
If you sort by something else, like “search”, there is only one entry.

Incidentally, while on the subject of YaST bugs… does anyone know why there is no icon assigned to the Education package group (see my screenshot, start of thread)? It was the same in 12.3, if I remember correctly.
Not a critical bug, mind you, but it makes my OCD kick in a bit.
