I had this same problem for a little while. I got a new HD and thought a
fresh install would fix it. But it didn’t. :frowning:

I have two recommended updates that will not update. They are:
fileshareset and kdenetworkmanager3-InstantMessenger.

Here is the out put of zypper -n -vv up:

Code:

Verbosity: 2
Entering non-interactive mode.

Checking whether to refresh metadata for KDE4 Desktop
Checking whether to refresh metadata for openSUSE-11.0-Non-Oss

No additional space will be used or freed after the operation.

Is there anything else that might be needed to try and get rid of this?

This is a bug.
Mark as DO NOT INSTALL

or just don’t use the updater app. Use Yast Software Management

Thanks for bug report link. I see the dev team have recently released a
patch to fix this ‘solver’ issue for opensuse 11.0

Fix involves adding this repo:

zypper ar ‘Index of /update/11.0-test’
(http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0-test/) patch

Then

zypper ref
zypper up -t patch

This gave me:

> Reading installed packages…

> yast2-ncurses-pkg

> gnome-packagekit

> Overall download size: 2.7 M. After the operation, additional 4.0 K
