   I have four systems for various purposes, all of them are currently   
   running Leap 15.3.  Updates are applied directly (the Software Updates   
   process after logging in) or via a "zypper up" using ssh-as-root from   
   another machine.   
   This works fine for three of the systems, it is the other one which is   
   confusing me.   
      
   A remote "zypper up" just applied 15 updates, repeating it showed   
   "Nothing to do".  The trouble is, the message:   
   > The following 101 package updates will NOT be installed:   
      
   A remote yast -> Online Update also finds nothing to do.   
      
   Logging in there locally and letting Software Update run, it comes up   
   with an additional 20 updates.  Applying these - with all the updates of   
   affected packages and libraries - reduces the "will NOT be installed"   
   list to just 5 entries, implying that the 20 + dependencies expanded to   
   96 - pretty much normal.   
   Any ideas why "zypper up" ignored those 20/96 packages?  This behaviour   
   is normal for this one machine.   
      
   Just in case it matters, the list of 101 packages is:   
      MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-translations-common PackageKit   
   PackageKit-backend-zypp PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin

   The remaining 5 are:   
      MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-translations-common   
   gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-lang mozilla-nspr   
      
   Now some of the gtk3-immodule-* modules updated are downright strange,   
   but if that's what the dependencies are then see if I care.   
      
   Just to add to the fun, once I did the "Software Updates" first and then   
   ran "zypper up".  The second step found things to do that the first one   
   ignored, and not because the updates had only become available after the   
   Software Update.
