Libzypp does not support this AFAIK. To avoid
installing/upgrading/removing of some package, lock it:

$ zypper addlock foo

this will add the lock to /etc/zypp/locks, see also 'man locks'

Hmm.. right, there's nothing like that available in zypper. Once you use
a wildcard, it will consider all matches. Yeah, i guess it might be
useful to be able to exlcude some of the matches. Could you please file
an enhancement request in bugzilla? (I'll probably close it as wontfix
:O) but don't worry, it'll be still alive in
http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Bugs_For_Adoption ... which reminds me i
should advertise the page a bit :O)
