Hm, this was supposed to be a nice heuristic, now i see it has some flaws :O(
This was done in order to be able to install like this:
$ zypper install foo-package-1-2.0.3-5

The workflow:
for each '-' found in the string
{
  replace '-' with '='
  check if there is something wich provides such capability
  if there is something
  { use this; break }
}

obviously this will not work for libdtl-3 as there obviously are providers of 
libdtl = 3. Bad idea :O(

I can remove the code doing this in a minute, but i'd appreciate suggestions how 
to do this 'zypper install zypper-0.11.1'....

Sorry for this.

Cheers,

jano
