 The Software updater seems to be broken.  I told it to only get one
 update file.  It has been sitting on Resolving dependencies

Alpha2 is two months old - please use Alpha4.

 Any one else note this behavior. It has been doing this over 2 hours

Software updater?  opensuse-updater or zen-updater?  zen-updater is now
obsolete,

Damn it. I accidentally answered directly instead of sending to the list, 
sending here also, so noone will waste time repeating my answer.

 Yes! 1400.  I called up the updater yesterday and it stated Resolving
 dependencies
 Here it is today and it is still trying to Resolving dependencies.
 It is grayed out with no escape/abandon button.  With the mouse pointer
 over the image I have a running clock.

 I think kill -9 may be in order

 Anyone with an idea?

That sounds suspiciously like zen-updater, aren't you aware that zmd+friends 
are being dropped for 10.3? Using and testing them is rather pointless now 
imho.

So my idea is to kill that process, remove all zenworks package management 
(zmd, zen-updater, rug, libzypp-zmd-backend) as quickly as possible and 
update using the 10.3 tools instead:
* YaST software management (Package - All packages - Update if newer version 
available) or;
* zypper (zypper up -t package)
