There is a package texlive-dummy_install on software.opensuse.org. AFAIK you can install it and zypper no longer complains about missing texlive packages.
As well here: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/texlive-dummy-opensuse?lang=de
I wonder which is the better route: a lock or the dummy package that pretends to provide the packages.
A lock seems better to me if only because it is more clear that the packages are not actually installed.
To me this looks like a design problem in the texlive package. How much sense does it make to split a package in to 1500+ parts if "texlive- epstopdf" pulls in (almost?) all of them? You might as well just stuff it all in a single package. Btw, I set "solver.onlyRequires = true" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, and I don't recall having had trouble with it.
