Why do you say that no symlinks are involved? The plasma5-workspace-branding-openSUSE-13.2-21.1 package from Leap 42.1 contains:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Oct 28 05:36 /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.openSUSE.desktop/contents/components -> ../../org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/components

Thus the conflict seems valid to me.

That is the old version of the package that is replaced by a new one, that does not use a symlink any more. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Why would that matter? The openQA test is trying to upgrade from 42.1 to 42.2, so the symlink exists when zypper is run.

Note that you simply *cannot* replace a directory with a symlink and vice versa with a package update.

That's bad... What has to be done to accomplish this? The symlink _has_ to be replaced by a real directory. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The issue was introduced with an online update of 42.1, right? So could we fix the issue in 42.1 by undoing the symlink there? Since the file content is identical in 42.1 there should actually be no file conflict.

Tumbleweed has the issue as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
