I can reproduce the problem. It is because zypper treats the first part of the string until the last colon as an alias of repository from which to install the "Common" (the remainder of the string) package. There are several ways how to solve this, a few come to my mind: 1) don't expect 'repository:capability' argument if -C is explicitly specified, treat the whole string as 'capability' 2) add new option to disable this 'repository:capability' feature 3) add some argument modifier e.g. '~ccapability' that would make zypper treat the string until the end or until another modifier as the capability. There could also be modifiers for repoalias, arch, e.g. '~rfactory~ai686~npackagename' This might even solve bug 404048 (problem how to tell zypper to install package with an epoch number - foo-1:1.2.3) and probably other problems!
