Hmm... that's not quite what you want.
You don't want to only upgrade installed packages.
You want to only install/upgrade packages from Packman when they're not
available in the SUSE repository... right ?

If it's that, then it is sufficient to set a higher priority on the SUSE
channels than on Packman.

smart channel --edit

And set e.g.
[suse-update]
priority = 100
...

[suse]
priority = 100
...

And don't set any priority on the Packman channel (defaults to 0).

The higher the value of the "priority" attribute, the "better".

Tweaking priority means that smart will first consider the originating
channel and its priority before considering the package version and release.

Never tried it myself, but that's how it's supposed to work ^^

cheers
