Were you using Factory during 12.1 (or maybe it was 11.4) development?
Yes, this is a system originally installed a while ago.
What's the content of the file?
Let me attach /usr/share/backgrounds/lightrays/lightrays.xml from the test system in question. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sorry, I meant the content of /usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSE-default.xml :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So, this is indeed a packaging issue that people could have hit during a few days during 11.4 development. I guess we could workaround it by adding some rm magic in %pre, but I'm not a big fan of adding such a workaround for an issue that was temporary like this. You can easily fix it by just removing the file and running update-alternatives.
I did that now, and from my testing this indeed resolved the issue. RESOLVED WONTFIX? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
