zypper lp blocked by obsolete softwaremgmt patch

# zypper ref ... # zypper lp Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Patches Warning: These are only the updates affecting the updater itself. Other updates are available too. Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status ---------------------+--------------+---------+-------------+------- openSUSE-11.1-Update | softwaremgmt | 473 | recommended | Needed # LANG=C zypper patch Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. I also tried # zypper in -t patch softwaremgmt ("Nothing to do") # zypper in -t patch --force softwaremgmt (patch re-installed, but zypper lp still tells me that I have to install the softwaremgmt-473 patch) Basically this is probably bug 498814, but it has a very bad side effect: As long as the softwaremgmt patch is listed, zypper lp does not list any other patches (including security updates) and is therefore useless. In case it is helpful: # LANG=C zypper search -t patch -s softwaremgmt S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+---------------------+-------+---------+--------+--------------------- i | softwaremgmt | patch | 791 | noarch | openSUSE-11.1-Update | softwaremgmt | patch | 473 | noarch | openSUSE-11.1-Update i | softwaremgmt-200906 | patch | 948 | noarch | openSUSE-11.1-Update Logs and solver testcase on request - I don't attach it for now because I think the issue is known from bug 498814 already.
Jano, isn't this a duplicate? I can't remember the original one. Zypper should not consider the broken old 473 at all, as the latest version 791 is satisfied.
Yes, this is duplicate of 498814. Christian, the fix will be in 11.2 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 498814 ***
