after having to use a snapshot to get my Tumblweed going again I found out that snapper rollback did not do as expected, see following message:

...

Installation of digikam-doc-5.2.0-163.3.noarch failed: snapper rollback does not initiate any RPM installation. Please describe step by step how you performed "snapper rollback" and at which point during this procedure you tried to install RPM.

It seems that .rpm.lock is the culprit. Looked at changing .rpm.lock with chpwn en chmod to no avail.

Some body with a solution? Close to 600 files are waiting for an update.

The explanation is really simple.I did a zypper -vvv dup and after all the data were downloaded the installation should begin. The information popped up that /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock was still in effect. Just oversaw the fact that I should have rebooted before doing the install. Thanks everybody, for the help.
