I use the DVD, not zypper. This provides more granular control. And, even though it is time consuming, in YaST Software Management I can manually reconcile package inconsistencies which zypper might struggles with. Worst case, if there is something that cannot be resolved, I know what it is and probably why, and can be prepared to deal with it later.
YaST makes use of libzypp which is used by? Yes, zypper too.
Thanks, I understand that. I just found it easier to manage YaST's package inconsistency messages because of the manner in which they are presented all at once in the gui. From this I can see if one thing is missing that is affecting multiple packages at the same time. And sometimes I can see how the problem is a multiple inter-dependency chain across a group of packages. This is what I meant by more granular control (or better visibility). I didn't mean to convey that the package management logic was different. Perhaps I'm out of date on this, so I'll take another look at zypper from the command line.
