Well, I'm not sure. Look at libtdb1  (zypper se -s libtdb1)

For the main 11.4 OSS repo it's 1.2.1-2.17.1

For tumbleweed it's 1.2.1-2.1

I don't know the numbering nomenclature well enough to be sure, but
that looks to me like tumbleweed is behind.

If these are actually builds from the same source, it would be nice if
zypper could be taught not to call them downgrades, but I'm not sure
that's feasible.
