This happens as soon as you use additional software repositories - in this case
network:samba:STABLE from the openSUSE Build Service - which already provide or
include a particular fix.

Therefore it would be nice to establish a set of rules or define a pattern how
to use upstream and bugzilla.novell.com references in the package change log.
Then libzypp might be able to detect such an already addressed security issue.

The system in question uses the 11.2-test update repo.
