The RED triangle on OpenSUSE updater told me that there were two security
updates for Open Office. When I told it to install them, it gave me error
messages. Then, I remembered a similar problem that occurred last year and
a solution that was kindly given to me on this group.

So, I went into terminal as root, and did the following:

rpm --rebuilddb

then:

zypper ref

zypper lu

Since it showed the two updates in Open Office, I did:

zypper up

After it started, it gave me the following:

2 Problems:
Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture.
Problem: This would invalidate OpenOffice_org-ja-2.3.0.1.2-3.noarch.

Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture.
With this run only resolvables with the best architecture have been
regarded.

result.

I would have done what you did given the above, but I have a feeling
the "ja" file isn't quite ready. Sometimes, some languages take a back seat
to the more populaar English and Euro ones.
Isn't ja for Japanese? If it's hanging on the Japanese files and you don't
need them, then, a no brainer...

But first I would try this:

OTTOMH (off the top of my head), right click Suse updater and quit. Open
Yast > Software Management > Packages > All Packages > Update if newer
version ... etc.
Let fly. You'll also get the latest Knode, too.
Provided you have the repos set, of course.

Or delete all of the OO stuff and Yast from scratch and not asking for the
ja files. They may not be done for another week or so.

That was a good shotgun approach, but All Packages gave me a list of too
many conflicts. While still in YAST, Software Management, I deleted the
Japanese version of Open Office. Some time ago, I vaguely remember
installing it just to impress someone that I could write Japanese, and
forgot that it was still there. ;-) While I was at it, I updated a few
other applications that I hand picked.

Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction. That red nag triangle is
just an annoyance when it does nothing.

Checking old posts... I happen to think that the reason you see the red
triangle is because there are in fact conflicts (which you say Yast flags)
and openSUSE updater doesn't handle them like Yast does, so you'll see
openSUSE updater struggle to complete it--often. Think of it as the little
engine that tries...
You'll need to settle your conflicts a bit at a time. The good news is most
of this occurs (I assume) when you add new repos and Yast flags
a "different provider" as a conflict. I think it's a PIA and don't get why
Yast feels the need to do this, but I could be overlooking something.
But read through them and click "accept new provider" or whatever the button
says when you get that easy opportunity...
