Hi Don,

Perhaps you could initially upgrade just those two packages individually
and after that try the online update again. I don't know if that would
work, but it might be worth a try.

Well your suggestion, despite the counterintuitive nonsense below, worked.

Finally. Thank you!

I'm very sorry that your first linux experience was a weird behaviour of
zypper. It is laudable that you persevered to the end. You're very brave and
patient. We welcome you.

If zypper would have done that to me I would have kicked it in the nuts,
because I know where its nuts are. But for it to do that to a Linux newbie,
that's just not fair.

I will put a link to this thread on opensuse-project to see what people think
of making an update-testing repository.
