I thought I asked this lately, but cannot find any evidence that I did. I have a 13.1 installation that had had X11:XOrg enabled and dup'd to that I want to revert all packages from. None seem to have dependencies to trigger other packages to revert as well, so each seems to need to be be searched first by name, then by version, and only then removed by typing in complete package name, and there are a lot of them, taking more than minute each to remove this way. I don't see but one x11 pattern that might have facilitated this. Since X is too broken to use, YaST2 isn't available, and yast seems too unwieldy for this purpose as well. Surely there must be some easier way to get "System Packages" from X11:XOrg replaced by currently available versions, no?

If only. X11:XOrg wasn't and isn't the only non-standard repo enabled. Dup wants to "upgrade" other packages I don't want changed. As I don't seem to be able to grok from the 13.1 locks man page how to lock down packages on a per repo basis, I'd have to ID each package and set a lock, only somewhat less trouble than the tedium I've been suffering. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
