But the thing is that following http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2010/03/zypper-dependency-graph/ I can't see why any of them are triggered for installation ("Needed by" tabs are empty). Adding any combination of three of them to /var/lib/zypp/SoftLocks still triggers the installation of the fourth one. So, there is at least a problem: there is no way to know why the packages are selected. And then there seems to be another one, either there is a problem in the pullin-flash-player package (that still doesn't explain why kdebase4-nsplugin is selected) or there is a bug in the solver. Perhaps the first problem is explained by such a solver's bug.
