...and that approach is the best at the moment since Zypper currently doesn't have a feature which will do repo prioritization. I experienced some package conflicts with Packman repo, so I do 'zypper update' (default behavior for the applets, as I figured) rather than 'zypper update -t package'. If I explicitly want to update some Packman's package, I do the check for all the updates avaliable, then I do 'zypper install foo1-pm.rpm foo2-pm.rpm' which also updates selected packages. SmartPM can handle situations like this, but I decided to follow openSUSE developers' advice and use recommended tool Zypper. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec
