[SATLUG] SuSE 10.3 and Automatic Updates

[Geoff]

Ok, this is getting annoying...

Some of you may remember me saying my linux server is my -do all- box.. 
gateway, router, web/file/mail server, etc...  running it on a 733MHz 
machine w/128meg (at the time - now up to 512meg of RAMBUS ram - Thanks, 
Todd!) running SuSE Linux 10.3 (kde) and am -trying- to get used to the 
Linux gui.  It ain't been easy, prying my fingernails away from the 
keyboard at the command line tty's but I'm no stranger to a rodent, either.

... I digress...

Since I've been at the gui now (5 days?) every single stinking time I 
sit down here, there's a message saying "new software for your system is 
available".  Ok, fine. 

I click on the icon, I click on 'details' it's amarok, version 4492-0.  
Every time.

It's -always- been amarok, the version has always been the same, I tell 
the system 'go get it', it asks me for my root password, I give it, it 
goes through the gyrations and acts like it's getting it, and then the 
system goes and checks the repositories again, and comes back and tells 
me "new software for your system is available".  Ok, fine.
