Right, online update will search for patches. The reason why it's not
installing is probably a dependency issue somewhere. Apparently if
updater is asked a question, it gets confused.

Go into Yast --> Software Management and search for them, you don't have
to search for the whole word, I'm sure alot of them are libs and kde
packages, but if a dependency option box pops up, that's the problem.

Also I noticed there's one package, and I can't ever tell what one,
maybe if I went through the /var/log/zypper.log I could figure it out,
but it gives a kdesu error. So w/ all this, I've just started to
primarily update through Yast.
