When you enable the online repository, the package can be found and

You have ConsoleKit already installed on your machine.. dependencies have nothing to do with it.. as it's there, zypper will see that a 'better' package is now avaialble in the repo.. so it suggest to update it.
Ah Ok, understand. I thought previously the wording suggested the ConsoleKit itself triggered all the vendor changes, or rather I added that conclusion there :) The fact that the ConsoleKit install wants to change vendor, is because M2's vendor was obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:42 (and marked as such on my system) and now the new version's vendor is and will remain openSUSE, right?
One thing that I would like to understand more about, if you do not mind to follow up, is about is the vendor - who is obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:42 vs openSUSE and where does it come from - does the "obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:42" correspond to only the superset that is in the online repos, and openSUSE to the DVD contents?
the vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:42 was the default vendor used up to M2...
Ok, that was a big missing piece in my understanding.
this was in fact the project in the build service the distribution was built in. And as we missed to explicitly set the vendor to openSUSE, OBS applied the default rule of using the project name.
So from now, going forward, "official" 42.1 repos, online or DVD , the vendor name will be openSUSE, is that right?
As a side question, considering one would want access to as large amount of packages as possible, it seems to made sense to keep those online repos in the repo list, would you agree? (Cannot see a reason of why not)
If you most of the time have access to the online repo, I'd say yes, keep the online repo active.. on my systems, I generally only have the online repos and never use the DVD post install..
Thanks, appreciate the comment.
I have more than the ConsoleKit changing vendor, I will delete the ConsoleKit, and deal with the others,, and see what zypper dup wants to do after that, and will follow up with questions if I have any, but at this point I am happy, to understand.
The situation will be the same for all those packages: they exist in the repo, but not on the DVD (DVD is max 4.7 GB, I don't have the info at hand how big the FTP Tree is... but it is clearly much much more.
Cool, I am clear - and thanks again for clear explanations. Milan
