Continue? [YES/no]:
What we get:
* I do not see joe being upgraded/updated
* and I see zypper wanting to remove wxGTK even though it cannot satisfy all of
wxWidgets (lock set on "wxWidgets" only, not "wxWidgets*")
What I expected from "zypper up" (or dup or whatever):
* upgrading joe from 3.5-102.1 to joe-3.5-102.1.jen2, because it has a higher
version number
* wxGTK remaining installed
Further info zypper tells me:
11:11 yaguchi:/home/jengelh # zypper up -t package joe

Problem: cannot install both joe-3.5-102.1.jen2.i586 and joe-3.5-102.1.i586
Solution 1: install joe-3.5-102.1.jen2.i586 (with vendor change)
SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany
-->
Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing joe > 3.5-102.1
