I'm having trouble understanding YaST Online Update in Suse 10.2. There
are various aspects I don't understand and I'm having trouble finding
the appropriate docs (probably through stupidity). The Help button says
"Refer to the manual for details". I've looked through the "openSUSE
Documentation Reference" - specifically II.3 Online Update - but it
doesn't give much detail. Is there some other documentation I've missed?

One aspect I don't understand is the meaning of the symbol consisting of
a white box followed by a grey tick. This doesn't appear in the list of
symbols on the help menu and the symbols aren't listed in the manual
I've looked at. For example, timezone or wxGTK - the available and
installed version are the same, so what are the patches?

Another aspect is why some patches are shown with a white triangle and
white box with a black tick when the packages themselves have a black
triangle with a green and white Z (e.g. krb5). Other patches for
packages marked in this way are themselves marked with a white triangle
and a green and white Z (e.g. python). What's the difference?

The final aspect is specific to gtk2. There is a patch for gtk2, which I
have installed. Why can't I see a matching patch to gtk2-debuginfo?
There's a version conflict. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a
bug?

Thanks, Dave
