Hi,

Note that this even happens with YaST, but contrary to zypper, YaST at least installs the new packages after deleting the old ones.
It's still a bug there and potentially dangerous if something fails and the update process gets aborted between deleting all packages and installing the new ones, but it's not as fatal as using zypper apparently.

This is a reminder to be extra careful if you use zypper update with current factory. Apparently because of a bug it seems possible that your complete system is deinstalled instead of being updated while running "zypper up -t package"
For details, please see Bug #301676.
