Could whoever/whatever broke, removed, or otherwise 'disappeared' the packages/versions previously made available in distro patch/update @ http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2015-01/msg00044.html please put them back? specifically, the libzypp versions >= 14.30. those had been introduced https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=899510#c3 and enabled backward INCOMPATIBLE changes to repo files. with those versions removed, zypper up's forcing downgrades to libzypp <= 14.29 -- which will now cause zypper to break with those changes in place. the newer versions are no longer available in the repos, nor is the referenced patch, openSUSE-2015-42 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
