The question I have is if zypper will install rpm first - I guess it should
as the payload should be a prereq.

So with some luck a bzip2 payload in rpm fixes the problem already.

For that reason neither zypper dup nor updates from within the system
are supported. Meaning: you need either do a manual step to fix it or
boot from medium to update.
