Lets be clear in this, that Plasma 5 (KDE Frameworks 5) is NOT the default KDE desktop for openSUSE and is offered in many ways as a kind of technology preview. Only a few applications have been ported to KF5/Plasma 5 and therefore openSUSE still has KDE 4 as the KDE desktop. This is also the reason why there is no pattern that would install all the required plasma 5 / KDE Framework 5 packages. Based on your initial comments, you are talking here about the KDE4 patterns and you want to install the KF5 versions of some applications. As that the KF5 versions are using the same filenames, etc, we need to make them conflict with their KDE4 counterparts as that in the end either the KDE4 version works or the KF5 version works. In the future when the decision is taken that KF5 will replace KDE4, we will create the correct patterns. If an user installs kf5-session, then all the required dependencies to run a plasma 5 session are being pulled in. This excludes the KF5 based apps, because the user can still use the KDE4 versions which are much more stable than the KF5 ones
