anyone any idea as to how to fix this?

At least the error message is very helpful. :-) You have chosen secure
for your security model instead of easy, which changes the permissions
of /usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper. You need to add
"/usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper root.root 4755" to your
/etc/permissions.local file (make sure you end this line with an enter,
i.e new line). Then run SuSEconfig. This makes the fix permanent,
otherwise the perms would be reset by SuSEconfig.


I was wondering why it has stopped working... thanks for the explanation.
