Comment # 28 on bug 1061208 from Patrick Finie

There are now better workaround out.  Going to 15.2 doesnt produce this issue,
if there is a zypper issue then dnf is a backup.  Detailed a procedure that
eliminates most of the risk involved with this old bug and thus it is being
closed.  Never was resolved but not enough information was produced and by the
time responses where made the systems where already brute forced to upgrade.
