Try rebuilding your RPM database
rpm --rebuilddb
Of course I should have done this. Thanks for the hint, Kent. That said, I ran this now, and no change.
Once upon a time rebuilding the @system repository helped. So try this as root: cd "/var/cache/zypp/solv/@System" (note the quotes) mv solv solv.save zypper ref Good luck, Hans-Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Good luck,
Thanks! I went even more aggressive and simple "rm -rf"ed /var/cache/zypp, after all it's supposed to be a cache only. :-) Still no change during the next round of updates (that is, duplicate packages), but when I ran "zypper dup" again last week, all those duplicates were taken care of and the next round today did not introduce new ones. So, either there was a bug somewhere that got fixed, or that system really was in a weird state which got addressed somehow.
