In a fact two different bugs have come here to the surface at the same time:
a.) crash of zen updater
b.) misconducted yast did not decide any update!
Meanwhile I could solve the problem by installing the additional packages by yast an then by updating via Zen/redcarpet.

I dont know whether a specific problem of kicker (kde bug track [Bug 134829] ) could be related to the zen updater as well. When quitting Noatun, the zenworks updater daemon icon lately disappeared from kicker by some internal error.

Tested on 10.2 with maw's build 2006 10 12. Fixed. 

Need to be created as patch for 10.1. ---> AJ.

Chris, which packages should we provide in order to get a patch? TIA!
Comment 8 Stanislav Visnovsky 2007-03-06 13:05:16 UTC 
Assuming fixed for 10.2
