"Repository" is just a guess. If a package is not present in any repository (exact installed version) when you query it, it is considered "System Package". So Tumbleweed was updated, the repository contains different package versions and installed packages became "orphaned".
"Orphaned" until the next dup, right? So this is not a reliable way to correlate your installed packages with the repos they came from. But zypper does seem to know which repo an installed package was from, because it has the '--allow-vendor-change' option. Then how to access the source repo info that is in the locally saved information about installed packages? BTW, does "vendor" actually mean "repository", like I assume? The man page never actually connects the two terms. -- Robert Webb
