   I'm using the graphic interface when YAST says, "x Number of Updates," I   
   choose install updates.  The Lock I'm using is also under "Yast Software"   
      
   Your "cat /etc/zypp/locks" yields nothing - shows me no REAL locks.   
      
   I tried what Malcolm advised as superuser: zypper al dosbox   
   This worked!   
   In trying to understand the MAN page on Zypper please define the "al" for   
   me   
   Thanks in Advance,
