Re: [opensuse] yum repos and zypper update

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an obvious reason "zypper update" would
say there is nothing to do even when a newer version of a package has
been added to a yum repo I have defined.

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.

zypper update, by default, only looks for patches, not for packages ...
zypper list-updates -t package
should give you more.
