Maybe 'zypper ve' (verify) is called for here. Maybe something among your updates didn't complete correctly. Other than trying to use lightdm, sddm, kdebase3-kdm, gdm or some other greeter, I don't know what else to suggest given the content shown in your /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ and the could not start kdeinit5 errors. bigbang:/home/marc # zypper ve Loading repository data...

You obviously have KDE/Plasma package problems. :-( No, that particular problem is not relevant. Just noise.
Read this thread for more info:

Run "zypper se -t application", you can see those "applications".
Then run:
zypper info --requires -t application 'Akregator'
I'll do it with the conflict I see:
#### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2017-06-14 11:39:45 ####
nothing provides appdata(vmware-player.appdata.xml) needed by application:VMware Player-.noarch
[ ] deinstallation of application:VMware Player-.noarch
[ ] break application:VMware Player-.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies
#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###
zypper info --requires -t application 'VMware Player'
And I get:
Information for application VMware Player: ------------------------------------------ Repository : @System Name : VMware Player Version : Arch : noarch Vendor : Summary : Run a virtual machine Description : Requires : appdata(vmware-player.appdata.xml) <======
Then I do (Andrei guessed this):
cer@Telcontar:~> ls -l /usr/share/appdata/vmware-player.appdata.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 812 Jun 7 22:31 /usr/share/appdata/vmware-player.appdata.xml cer@Telcontar:~> rpm -qf /usr/share/appdata/vmware-player.appdata.xml file /usr/share/appdata/vmware-player.appdata.xml is not owned by any package cer@Telcontar:~>
The solution is to delete that file directly.
In Marc case, the problem is find what file to delete in /usr/share/appdata/. Probably one related to "Akregator".
Hi again Carlos - OK, so I gather I should locate and delete all these xml files that "zypper ve" is complaining about? Incidentally, when I ran zypper ve again, I followed your advice to choose solution 2 - break application:xxx-.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies, and ran into something that made me hesitant to do, it wanted to remove a couple packages and one of them kernel-default-4.4.74-18.20.1 scared me into bailing out. Here is the output, see what you think? bigbang:/etc/zypp # zypper ve Loading repository data...

If you have a file /etc/zypp/locks, what packages are in it ('zypper ll')?
Do as Patrick told you. Verify the content in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ is all appropriate. Just post here "zypper lr --details". If lines wrap when pasting, add it as a text attachment to the post.
zypper lr --details > repolist.txt
and we'll have a look at it.
OK I attached repolist.txt to this posting... Marc...
