Just out of interest, why does zypper have a problem here?

Package scriptutils requires tcsh, and tcsh-6.15.00-35.12 is installed.
dup (and a few others) result in this:

zypper> in -t package tcsh
Problem: scriptutils-1.40-1.noarch requires /bin/tcsh, but none of the
providers can be installed
Solution 1: deinstallation of scriptutils-1.40-1.noarch
Solution 2: do not install tcsh-6.15.00-47.i586


The dependency by scriptutils is already met as tcsh is installed.
There's a newer version, but that should be irrelevant. Why however can
the newer tcsh not be installed although it (as per zypper) provides
/bin/tcsh as well?

I suggest to create a bugreport with a resolver test case added

The repo situation is

zypper> lr

Repository 'Factory OSS' is up to date.
Repository 'openSUSE-OSS-KDE 11.0' is up to date.
Repository 'Factory non-OSS extra' is up to date.
Repository 'Factory-debug' is up to date.
All repositories have been refreshed.

(I'd find it useful to get the URI of the repos here, but haven't found
a way to do this.)

zypper sl -e /tmp/somefile is the workaround I use,
