I just installed 11.2 rc2 from gnome liveCD, then immediately ran
'zypper dup'.  It installed over 1GB of new software, including 184MB
worth of OpenOffice.org help files in six languages I don't speak.

Why doesn't 'zypper dup' stick to distribution upgrades?  Instead it
seems to install the union of the favorite packages of every SUSE
developer, or some such.

I have not tested it, but it's my understanding that only the
languages specified at /var/lib/zypp/RequestedLocales should be
installed. That should be just *your* languages.
The "OpenOffice_org-help-<lang>" packages have a "Provides:
locale(OpenOffice_org:<lang>)" that is expanded to "Supplements:
OpenOffice_org & namespace:language(<lang>)", that's what I suppose is
triggering the install.
