Precisely why when zypper says "Hey, not my Virtualbox!", it shouldn't have tried to do anything, but that isn't what happened. After finding a virtualbox that wasn't zypper's zypper went ahead a tried to add packages to it anyway -- that is the problem. It shouldn't have, but it did.
zypper *only* cares that a package is present/installed, not that zypper installed it or that David installed it using other incantations and mystic.
The problem is this, if you install virtualbox-kmp because you want the modules to automatically be rebuilt on kernel update (regardless where virtualbox comes from), then zypper tries to install virtualbox-guest-x11 Which makes little sense, since virtualbox-kmp will rebuild the guest modules on kernel update negating the need for virtualbox-guest-x11 So zypper should not automatically try and install virtualbox-guest-x11 just because it sees virtualbox-kmp installed. -- David C.
