The issue is that your openSUSE-default.xml is not a link. Did you follow Factory for a while during 11.4 development?
Looks like I should report more bugs for you. Well, you are lucky that I prefer KDE ;-) To answer your question: I always follow Factory in the beta phase, including the 11.4 beta timeframe.
My guess is that the package was wrong at some point, and it installed a real file.
What's the content of this file?
# cat /usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSE-default.xml <background> <static> <!-- 100 days --> <duration>8640000.0</duration> <file> <size width="1600" height="1200">/usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSE114-1600x1200.jpg</size> <size width="1920" height="1200">/usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSE114-1920x1200.jpg</size> </file> </static> </background> This indeed looks like file content from 11.4... -- 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.

I suggest you just use this workaround:
Thanks, done.
However, if you know of more users affected, we might do something else (but I'd prefer to avoid an ugly hack because of a temporary issue in Factory).
The CC list doesn't contain anyone except you, so let's close this bugreport for now. If someone else sees this bug, he can reopen it ;-) -- 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.
