Upgrading the weekly factory version, via "zypper dup", I get (for two..three weeks):

Downloading package nscd-2.8-11.i586, 62.0 K (123.0 K unpacked)
Installing: nscd-2.8-11 [error]
Installation of nscd-2.8-11 failed:

Overall download size: 62.0 K. After the operation, 246.0 K will be freed.
Continue? [Y/n/p/?]:

I have no idea why "boot.setclock" was off, but I doubt that installation of "nscd" should fail. When running "zypper -n dup" overnight it made zypper to abort the update. I think installation should continue even if the service wasn't enabled.
