How can I install a specific version of the zypp patch from the Novell Update repository for the SLE10 or SLE11 platform?

Installing a specific version of the zypp patch from the Novell Update repository might lead to installing or updating with the most recent packages if available from any of its later patch versions. Installing a specific version of the patch might conflict with the existing packages version: therefore, to avoid any conflict, you can use a dependency solver to select the newer packages, if available.

For example, rug in -t patch slesp3-kernel-7261-0 might not have the version of packages that is present in the specified patch, but the solver might choose to install newer packages if they are available as part of the latest patch.
