Starting yesterday and as of today (2023-09-29), the main Tumbleweed repos
contain an inconsistent copy of the Cinnamon stack, with some packages at a
newer version than others. This will lead to the following zypper errors:

By itself, while not a great UX, this is viable as a transitional repository
state: one should be able to just postpone the Cinnamon upgrade through the
process outlined above, while waiting for all packages to be upgraded.
What is not good at all, however, is that after doing so, zypper will offer to
install a cjs upgrade which is incompatible with the currently installed
version of Cinnamon:

This should probably be fixed by adding an appropriate dependency version
constraint on the cjs packages to the cinnamon package so that the cjs upgrade
is not proposed in absence of compatible Cinnamon versions.
