I guess the reason why your reply has a time before that of my original message is daylight savings time! Anyway, using webpin http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ I could not find a package that owns /var/log/zypp/history and it's not on my system - I'm using OpenSuse 11.0 x86_64. Even if it were, I'm addressing the broader use-case of User Cathy installs "A" from repository "X" "A" requires "B" from repository "Y" for proper operation. "A" requires "C" with a vendor change from repository "Z" to repository "W" for proper operation. When Cathy chooses to remove repository "X", this should cause the removal of package "A". If package "B" is not required by packages from repositories other than "X" then it should be removed. If package "C" is not required by packages from repositories other than "X" then it should revert to the version from repository "Z". Tracking these dependencies "by hand" would be error-prone to say the least.
