OK. Now I understand. I have no idea how the dev package was installed from the graphics repository. User error I guess :)
Optional repos only get enabled because of your action of installing software you didn't find in standard repos. Typically this action ensues from using a 1-click installation from https://software.opensuse.org/search. Once enabled, optional repos produce risk of "upgrading" other software available from that repo. 1-clicks are best avoided. Once used, the repos they enable need to be disabled or removed, or at least their use closely monitored. To install software found via https://software.opensuse.org/search you can use the opi command to install with less resulting danger. Opi can also find software.
I've used OPI on a couple of occasions...the last one I recall was codecs from Packman. But normally I don't useit.
