Re: [opensuse] yum repos and zypper update

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an obvious reason "zypper update" would

Yes, I did a "zypper refresh" to force an update of the cache.

And even more interesting, I can do a "zypper search whatever"
and it shows me there is a newer "whatever" in the repo, it just
doesn't think it needs to install it when I run an update.

In a near identical repo constructed with similar new versions of
"whatever"s a "yum update" on a fedora box happily downloads
and installs the newer version.

I'm sure there is something we don't understand about zypper
and repo conventions, I just wish I knew what it was :-). Can
anyone help?

Zypper by default updates Patches, the regular method of our update
delivery.

Use:
zypper update -t package
to update just-package-updates updates.
