I ask this on behalf of a forum user.
Looking here:
http://software.opensuse.org/package/qpopper
qpopper is available for 12.2, 12.3, and factory. Yet it is missing from the recent 13.1. Why?
This seems to be an issue on software.o.o: the package does not exist in Factory (click on any of the links for Factory.. they all lead to nowhere).
There is a bugzilla about this, dated last November, unanswered.

There is no need to answer on the list if the bugzilla is answered.
Looking at the request history, qpopper was removed from Factory in

That seems reasonably explained why it's dropped... I can't judge about
correctness on this.
