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:

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

Do you have link to the bug report?

Thanks.

This is it I think

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 patch

Then

zypper ref
zypper up -t patch

This gave me:

Reading installed packages…

The following packages are going to be upgraded:
satsolver-tools yast2-pkg-bindings libzypp yast2-qt-pkg yast2-ncurses-pkg

The following NEW patch is going to be installed:
gnome-packagekit

Overall download size: 2.7 M. After the operation, additional 4.0 K will be used.
Continue? [YES/no]: YES

Of course, it is good practice to remove the repo afterwards as soon as patch has been installed.

Thanks, installed it and it seems to be working now.
