Here a popup window appeared, stating: "Error: Cannot stop '/etc/init.d/novell-zmd' service". I clicked OK, and the inst_source module finished. Not sure if this is critical.

To be safe, I restarted it manually. Strange, before I restarted it, I stated that 11 patches are available. After the restart, these are gone (no orange exclamation mark anymore).
