Zypper problem:says to update packages that are up-to-date

My updater applet in the tray tells me two updates are available. I go to update and nothing happens, it just refreshes and says there are two updates.

I have run into this before with 10.2 and 10.3 so I deleted the local cache and forced a refresh. Still had the same thing.

I ran “zypper up” from CLI and got this:

2 Problems:
Problem: patch:kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-235.noarch conflicts with kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger.x86_64 < 3.5.9-39.2 provided by kde4-kopete-4.1.3-43.5.x86_64

 Solution 1: deinstallation of kde4-kopete-4.1.3-43.4.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install patch:kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-235.noarch

It then wants me to uninstall KDE4.1.3 and then install the updates. How do I fix this? has anyone else seen this?

running opensuse 11 with KDE 4.1.3 “Release 63.3”

I think this is a recent known problem. For now use the yast software manager to update.

Thanks, I must have just missed that when searching. Exactly what I’m having problems with.

The suse updater reports those updates/patches. Just ignore them. Personally I don’t use the updater anyway. I switch it off.

If you use software management you can apply updates in there as deano said. And it is not affected by the bug.
A fix may be on the way.
