--- Comment #2 from Tammo Oepkes
That rather sounds like a zypper/libzypp bug not being able to handle the same names.
Later yesterday evening I compared the sway package/pattern behavior to similar patterns/packages (like kde, gnome, mint, cinnamon, lxde, lxqt). Out of these, the only package/pattern combination with identical names for package/pattern was cinnamon. But installing cinnamon package shows a different package selection than installing the cinnamon pattern. My original assumed cause (name conflict) seems to be wrong then. So it would be something specific to the sway package that causes the sway _pattern_ to be pulled as a dependency. --- toe@toe-tp-20uj ~ % sudo zypper install --type pattern cinnamon (...)
