8.1.3.2 Installing Updates
If a repository contains only new packages, but does not provide patches,
zypper patch does not show any effect. To update all installed packages with
newer available versions, use:
zypper update
To update individual packages, specify the package with either the update or install
command:
zypper update package_name
zypper install package_name
A list of all new installable packages can be obtained with the command:
zypper list-updates
Note that this command only packages lists packages that match the following criteria:
• has the same vendor like the already installed package
• is provided by repositories with at least the same priority than the already installed
package
• is installable (all dependencies are satised)
A list of all new available packages (regardless whether installable or not) can be ob-
tained with:
zypper list-updates --all
To nd out why a new package cannot be installed, just use the zypper install
or zypper update command as described above.
