I've seen a very interesting behaviour of zypper dup:

First I got the following conflict message (translated back from german):

Problem: Problem with installed package
evolution-data-server-32bit-2.30.1-1.19.x86_64
Solution 1: do the following:
  keep outdated evolution-data-server-32bit-2.30.1-1.19.x86_64
  keep outdated libxml2-32bit-2.7.7-4.3.1.x86_64
Solution 2: install evolution-data-server-2.32.1-2.4.i586 despite of the
lower-level architecture

Note that my system is x86_64, so zypper normally shouldn't propose i586
packages.

Zypper seems to notice that itsself, because on the next zypper dup run I get

The following package will change the architecture:
  evolution-data-server  i586 -> x86_64

Yes, zypper, you are right ;-) - but why don't you install the x86_64 package
in the first run?

zypper.log is attached - the behaviour described here starts around 2011-02-14
20:33:12 (timestamp from the removal of gnome-panel-32bit in /v/l/zypp/history)
