The real issue is naturaly where the problem comes from. What is being
checked. Once I know that, I should be able to make a check myself, I
hope.

It not only apears that way. It is that way.

I first would like confirmation that both or one of these files is the
wrongdoer. Also this would mean that I might need to check with each and
every version, because naming could change.

I will be looking into that and see if that changes anything. Still would
love to hear from SUSE what is being checked and how the checking data is
