c#7:

To accomplish this, the 'update' would also need to reinstall a lot of packages
(all that would be kept as they are otherwise). I'm not sure if that should be
added.

There must be better ways to do this than to abuse 'update' functionality. E.g.
use --root:

$ zypper repos -e myrepos.repo
$ mkdir /tmp/myroot
$ zypper --root /tmp/myroot addrepo myrepos.repo
$ zypper --root /tmp/myroot modify-repo -kr
$ zypper --root rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} ' | xargs \
  zypper in --dry-run

(soon also 'zypper in --download-only ...')

What about that?
