   That's a different problem altogether, a different can of worms.   
      
   The issue is that the only proper tool to update a Tumbleweed   
   installation is "zypper dup" in a terminal as root. Any other tool   
   consider only as an indicative that you should check if there are   
   updates, but do them only with "zypper dup".   
      
   Many people are not aware of this.   
      
   I know there are GUI tools (applets) that nag you about updates, but   
   just ignore those tools. I would remove them.   
      
      
   A "zypper up", which is similar to what those tools can at most do, can   
   at times cause breakage of TW.
