See comment #12 by Stefan Schubert:
I have reverted the fix for Bug 299819
Package submitted 3.18.2
This is libzypp. Install at least this version plus a zypper that fits (for
me, it's zypper-0.8.14). This might break some of dependencies to the YaST
module, so I suggest to fix those as well.
With this libzypp, you should have a working zypper again. I believe 'zypper
up -t package' will try to fix also the broken dependencies from the
disaster, but you better check the proposal zypper presents.
