Problem: package will be orphaned.
Orphaned? If a package is installed, it is not orphaned.
In case of zyper orphaned package is a package that does not come from any repository. More precisely, no repository provides this package.
Isn't an orphaned package one that was installed to satisfy some requirement, and the requirement goes away.
No.
Then that package is no longer needed.
This is an "unneeded" package.
