Packages with version numbers higher than installation media.

[MikeH30]

I recently installed the latest version of Virtual Box (2.2.0) via Yast although the default version is 2.0.6. The newer Virtual Box package only became available once I added the Virtual Box repository via Yast's Software Repositories. The package font is now red for the latest version of Virtual Box (2.2.0).

According to Novell - "Installed packages whose version numbers are higher than those on the installation media are displayed in red."

Is this bad or good? I thought using the latest package version was a good thing.

Thanks.

Don't worry about it. Using latest version is good thing unless its not creating any problems or conflicts with other packages.
