Hi Lee,
You can update a single package by entering this command :

do nothing if there is no such package installed on the system.
To update a bunch of packages, you can specify multiple package
If that's so, then the Yast message To make RPM packages located at the
specified location available in the packages selection, continue. is
REALLY misleading...
