   Ok. What I do (that command line concoction is on one of the wiki links,   
   because I wrote it ;-) ) is (I think it is also on the wiki):   
      
   Fire up:   
      
   su   
   yast2 --qt sw_single   
      
      
   or yast and software module from the menu. You click on "search" and   
   type a faulty package name. Click on the version tab, and then select   
   the 15.2 version of that package which should show on the list below.   
      
   Boringly repeat for the hopefully less than a hundred lines :-)   
      
      
      
   I guess that some of the 15.1 hits will be PGP signatures. Other may be   
   from repositories that do not follow the exact naming convention. Those   
   that are truly wrong you have to force the update, but beware that some   
   will not exist.   
      
   "Will not exist" maybe because the package is no longer available,   
   changed name, or something. You have to think about each one. Maybe you   
   have to abort and add some repository that was disabled during the   
   update - which is why I do not recommend to disable extra repositories.   
      
   Have luck :-D   
      
      
   The only problem with the wiki is that we (the community) don't update   
   it so often, but there are no big changes, only details.   
      
   --   
   Cheers, Carlos.
