Using zypper removeservice produced the same result that there is no such animal called 'Kernel_36-7' :-) . But it does exist in '.../zypp/services.d'. So I renamed it from '/etc/zypp/services.d/services.services' to '......./services.services.old' - but zypper _stil_l found it and spat the dummy! :-) So I moved this file to "another place" and now zypper is back doing what it should be doing - updating my wife's system with some files.
Any time I remove a repo I follow up by doing a zypper clean.
I used 'zypper clean' and 'zypper clean -a' at least 4 times :-) . I am about to retry to use the kernel and the KDE repos on my wife's computer. Perhaps I will have a different result this time? :-) (I sincerely hope so.)
Sometimes I want multiple machines using the same "latest" kernel. So on these I configure no optional kernel repo, instead zypper installing a kernel previously downloaded to the LAN. The youthful upstart Zypper is much smarter about installing from local packages than Apt, Yum or Urpmi.
