#39: there was a change in libzypp, onlyRequires=1 will now still install hardware packages. onlyRequires=1 used to be "ignore all package recommends/supplements", it's now "ignore all except system dependencies". There currently is no way to ignore all recommends/supplements. "ignoreA.R.=1" makes the solver not look at the recommends/supplements for installed packages that are not updated. I.e. if you do a "zypper install foo" you will not get something installed because of a recommends of a package that has nothing to do with the request.
