The following 8 NEW packages are going to be installed: gstreamer-plugins-bad-lang lifecycle-data-openSUSE obs-service-format_spec_file obs-service-obs_scm-common obs-service-recompress obs-service-set_version obs-service-source_validator obs-service-tar_scm
8 new packages to install. ===pins===

*scratch head*
The package will be pulled in as a recommended package, but nothing recommends it? Not even uninstalled packages? I don't understand the mechanism...
That is 'reverse' - actually nothing recommends lifecycle-data- openSUSE, but the package itself recommends its installation based on other packages being present:
Supplements: packageand(openSUSE-release:zypper-lifecycle-plugin)
so, as soon as openSUSE-release and zypper-lifecycle-plugin are being installed on the system, lifecycle-data-openSUSE is being marked as a recommended package.
Cheers, Dominique
Cool! Thank you, Dominique, I never knew about this possibility. Werner --
