I could give an example of the opposit, if yast would be usable for me 
atm, but due to lack of a provider for libzypp.so.406, i can not 
install  yast2-qt-pkg-2.16.29-10, without the plugin, the gui doesn't 
work. (have not tried cli version yet..)

( Problem: nothing provides libzypp.so.406()(64bit) needed by 
yast2-qt-pkg-2.16.29-10.x86_64
 Solution 1: not install yast2-qt-pkg-2.16.29-10.x86_64

Choose the above solution using '1' or cancel using 'c' [1/A]:  )

Zypper output.
