It says 'applictions' - not packages... there is a subtle difference. In this case, the issue is that the meta data generated for the packages is not fully correct. With the info at hand, zypper knows 'I have this now installed, but per the info I receive, the new 'package' no longer has the 'reference to the application'. In fact, it's about 'plugins' here.
Using zypper, you can search for apps for example using: zypper se -t application
This is getting more an more interesting as 'users are interested in applications, not packages' - packages are a technicality.

Thanks Dominique. What would be the recommended action in with this output? Follow Zypper's advise and try to remove it manually, or wait for future snapshots to hopefully cover the issue? -Ju Ping.
