I use opensuse 13.1 64 bit on a toshiba satellite l355-s7902
I ran online update and it finished with an error
from the yast screen-- " Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package kdepim4-4.11.3-48.4.x86_64 is not installed "
I tried to install this package from a terminal with zypper
walter@linux-4z66:~> sudo zypper in kdepim4-4.11.3-48.4.x86_64

The selected package 'kdepim4-4.11.3-48.4.x86_64' from repository 'openSUSE-13.1-Update' has lower version than the installed one. Use 'zypper install --oldpackage kdepim4-4.11.3-48.4.x86_64' to force installation of the package.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.
I then tried to install the latest version to try and get it to update
walter@linux-4z66:~> sudo zypper in kdepim4-4.11.4-444.11
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'kdepim4 = 4.11.4-444.11' is already installed.
No update candidate for 'kdepim4-4.11.4-444.11.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

So I see that the error is that an older package is not installed and that the newer package is
I also think that not all of the kedpim packages were installed
I suspect that I had an interruption in the internet connection during the update
How can I clear out the error in the yast online updater without a reinstall of opensuse and rerun the updater ?

You have to run “zypper patch” to do the same thing as the online update
does.

Apparently you already have the newest package available.

Good solution! When, after some trials and debugging you still can not find what is wrong, in such a case as this, a rebuilddb may help and I guess it can not harm very much.
And, like Carlos explained, zypper patch is for the patches (and the like) in the two Update repos. When you want to go for newer version in e.g. your Pcakman repo, zypper up will do that.
