Patch openSUSE-SLE-15.4-2022-2969 breaks updating Leap 15.4 because of a
conflict with libswresample. The graphical update tool gpk-update-viewer runs
into an error that unexperienced users might not understand.

"zypper patch --with-optional" would install the patch, changing a bunch of
ffmpeg and avcodec related packages from Packman to SUSE LLC, which is most
probably not what the users want. "zypper update" skips these updates instead.

It is unclear to me why these conflicts are in the patch meta data. It's
obviously possible to update the other packages (non-ffmpeg) without breaking
any package-level dependencies.

Several users have posted about this in the Forum:

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/574888-openSUSE-SLE-15-4-2022-2969-vs-Packman-conflicts

Is there a deeper reason for creating this artificial conflict?
