Huh?

Those complaints are as old as libzypp.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163186

This one is marked as "fixed", albeit only at one point logging was reduced.

Frankly, I find it hard to make any use whatsoever of y2logs where any libzypp 
action was performed (and there are few that have none), because libzypp 
logging typically dominates 95% or more of the y2logs.

While I understand that package management is a very complex matter and 
problems can only be tracked down with comprehensive logs, let's _please_ 
reduce this to a reasonable amount. 

Many things are logged 5 times or more, on each function call level. More 
often than not, there is little or no information added at each level. Why 
not reduce that to one single log line? (And come to think of it, how did it 
ever come this far - it's obvious when you start the program for the first 
time that most logging is duplicated, triplicated or worse?).

No, all this is not new. And it's not true that nobody complained.
