While installing RC1, the Yast Online Update section showed patches as available
upgrades, yet they were older versions. I have included a screen shot.

Thanks for reporting it, but this is not a bug. Online update cannot distinguish
between SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta2 and SUSE Linux RC1.

Actually it is used to update released products such as SUSE Linux 9.3, SUSE
Linux 10.0, SUSE Linux 10.1... That's also why the summary of the update says
"For Beta3".
Comment 3 Joe Harmon 2005-09-13 22:05:19 UTC 
I don't understand how this is not a bug. I am installing RC2 on another machine
today and it want to downgrade my kernel from the .11 version to the .9 version
and it shows it as an upgrade. How is that not a bug?
Comment 4 Michael Radziej 2005-09-14 07:17:45 UTC 
Joe, you should not select these patches then. YOU automatically preselects the
right patches. Only select other ones if you are very sure you want them ...

YOU has always behaved like this and it was designed to do it this way. I agree
this is a usability bug. But it can't be fixed in 10.0 and is certainly not
critical. 

YOU should not display patches that would install older versions of packages
when they would not be preselected due to special patch options.

Klaus, can you please add this to the feature document?

I agree with the reporter. Very confusing, YOU even tries to downgrade some KDE components from KDE 3.5.1 to KDE 3.4.x. You have to check every patch very carfully before you apply it. I consider this as kind of critical since a human can easily mistake on the patch numbering.

Fixed in 10.1
