Appears there have been several packages replaced but not removed from system in last few updates, re:
All of them are versionned library packages. With my bacgkground I'd say it is normal and expected. That is exact reason to create versionned package in the first place - so multiple versions can coexist.
I have removed all of the above w/o seeing any ill effects (so far).
Good for you. Now imagine you compiled a program using one of these versions ...
*If* I had, my system should have a *requirement* for *that* package which it did/does not.
How should system know you compiled something using this specific library version?
And the *extra* versions are not even available for download from software.opensuse.org now. They should have been removed
No, they should not.
when the newer packages were installed since there were no local requirements for them.
