Hi,

The appliance’s repo has these patches:

```auto
# zypper lp -a

Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status
----------------------------+--------+---------+-------------+-----------
Sentinel-Server-7.0-Updates | update | 1 | Recommended | needed
[...]
Sentinel-Server-7.0-Updates | update | 251 | Security | not needed
Sentinel-Server-7.0-Updates | update | 252 | Security | not needed
Sentinel-Server-7.0-Updates | update | 253 | Security | not needed
```

I can get the info on the latest version like this:

```auto
# zypper info -t patch update
Refreshing service 'nu_novell_com'.

Reading installed packages...

Information for patch update:

```

Is it possible to get information on a specific patch version? I’ve  
tried “zypper info -t patch update-123” but that just errors out: patch  
‘update-123’ not found.

BTW: Is there a way to upgrade/downgrade to a specific patch version?

Norbert

I think you need to get the information for the **package** and specify the full package version for **zypper**. If that doesn’t work, I’m out of ideas.
