On my 24/7 11.2 system I do have a significantly larger zypp.conf.rpmnew timestamped 2010/04/13 containing:
That's the file. When there is an .rpmnew, the existing config file is old, sometimes obsolete.

The version of zypp.conf I'm actually using on my 24/7 11.2 system uses the earlier syntax, which works.
Yes, in 11.2 the previous syntax works, but the new, which is documented in the file, does not. This is a bug, IMO, which has caused me and others lots of time lost. We were talking recently on the forums about how to activate multiversion, and some found that uncommenting that line did not work; that's why I told you that the problem was that the documented syntax was wrong - misguidedby the error in the suplied config file. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
