   That's one of the clues that makes me want to see "zypper lr --details" ;-)   
      
   However, it is typical with packman. For some reasons, some of their   
   packages sometimes get a lower number, but they are newer. A "zypper   
   dup" will do them happily. A "zypper up" will complain.

   Was the partition mounted when you did the dd? That means you have to   
   fsck each time you use it.

   No. Only if the system crashes or the pweroff sequence gets broken.
