Hello,

in fact, zypper works quiet well, and libzypp is of course needed. 
Unfortunately, when doing so, you have to upgrade almost all of the Yast2 stack 
(packeger is missing dependencies, new version requires new yast base package 
and so on.

in the BuildService home:dimstar, I started to collect everything that is 
needed to bring a working yast back, but the Factory-Imported yast actually 
does not compile in the BuildService (well: it would be time to switch the 
whole development to the OBS; then such things would be realized by the 
internal packagers too).

On my own system, I have a working zypper (well: not exactly, it's the broken 
version from Factory ;) ) and I'm quiet happy with it. Only YaST and all it's 
modules are not running at the moment... I hope to give some better update on 
this soon.
