Why were they forcibly installed in the first place??

Because they are "recommended" packages and our alpha1 solver likes
to make your system complete. As workaround edit /etc/zypp/locks and
put all packages in there you don't want to see.


E.g. "doc"-Packages: Yast always insists on installing e.g. kdelibs3-doc,
PolicyKit-doc, readline-doc and so on.
(For PolicyKit-doc, I yesterday even caught Yast installing a
*.i586.rpm-package on my 64bit-system without any kind of warning,
something I really dislike, because I had some nasty system failures when
32bit (binary) packages were mistakenly installed by the package management
system in former times.)
As said in the Alpha1 release announcement: please create test cases whenever
you see something strange with package management. i586 packages on 64bit _is_
such a strange case.


Yast also insists on installing a full 32bit KDE3 subsystem on my 64bit
system (with all the dozens of other necessary 32bit libs), although no
32bit KDE app at all is installed.
There is kdebase3-nsplugin which provides you access to 32bit flash-player and
it's installed by default and pulls in many 32bit dependencies.
Since (10.1?) KDE OBS repository has a package "kdebase3-nsplugin64"
that isn't available in the official repository. I'm using it and all
the plugins work correctly on Konqueror, both 64bit plugins and 32bit
flash.
Someone can explain it?
