The "problem" shown is really just arbitrary selected from a set of problems. There is no solution where the i586 package gets installed.

From the solver side, here's the rules that make it unsolvable: JOB Rule #9500: kde4-knotes-4.1.68-2.2.i586 [952] (w1) Conflict.level1 kde4-knotes-4.1.69-1.3.x86_64 [1274] (w2) Conflict.level1 next rules: 0 0 Rule #1236: !kde4-knotes-4.1.69-1.3.x86_64 [1274] (w1) Conflict.level1 kdebase4-runtime-4.1.69-1.3.x86_64 [1393] (w2) Conflict.level1 next rules: 1237 1263 Rule #2217: !kde4-knotes-4.1.68-2.2.i586 [952] (w1) Conflict.level1 next rules: 0 0 Rule #601: !kdebase4-runtime-4.1.69-1.3.x86_64 [1393] (w1) Conflict.level1 next rules: 0 0

So the job is to either install the i586 or the x86_64 version. Both packages are not installable, thus the job can't be fulfilled. The solver now has to report a problem back to the user and just picks a rule by a heuristic. -- 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.

That's the case here, the i586 package has a broken dep, while the x86_64 package needs kdebase4-runtime which has a broken dep. That's why the i586 package is chosen. --repo tells zypper to use only this repo and disable all other repos, which makes the option a bit useless as seen in your case. -- 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.
