   Well, consider this a "forbidden procedure" on Tumbleweed :-P   
      
   On tumbleweed you must only use:   
      
   zypper dup   
      
   everytime. Never "zypper patch" nor "zypper up" or the YaST equivalents.

   Did you forget the "/" before etc?

   Well, being Tumbleweed, a bug in YaST is possible.

   al is short of addlock. So just search for that word.   
      
          addlock (al) [options] lock-spec...   
              Add a package lock. Specify packages to lock as explained above.   
      
              -r, --repo alias|name|#|URI   
                  Restrict the lock to the specified repository.   
      
              -t, --type type   
                  Lock only packages of specified type (default: package).   
   See section Package Types for list of available package types.
