Reading that line, it looks like you are trying to uninstall that package by adding that '-' alone:
From 'man zypper': "In the install command, you can also specify packages you wish to
remove by prepending their names by a - or ! character."
If you are trying to install that package, try removing that dash,
Indeed, removing that dash does allow the package to be installed. The manpage, on the topic of install says: - you can also specify packages you wish to remove by prepending their names by a - or ! character. - that if you choose to use - with the first package you specify, you need to write -- before it to prevent its interpretation as a command option I did intend to use the '--', so your suggestion revealed a typo in my invocation. Note that my dash did not prepend a name, it was separated by a space, and hence was not part of a package name. I actually have no idea how zypper interpreted this incorrect use. Thanks for the second set of eyes!
