It might get locked if you got it from a different source, than the one providing the update or if a dependency makes it needed. In my experience, you can unlock the, (right click in yast) and see what happens. Be sure the autocheck dependencies checkbox checked to instantly see why Yast thought it should be locked. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
