I believe that "rpm -e -f jdk-16" would do the trick. Libreoffice really
does need a java, though, from what I understand, so tread carefully. -Nick

Don't remove jdk, libreoffice needs it. You can not remove jdk-16 and then install jdk-17, instead you have to upgrade jdk-16 to jdk-17 in one operation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))

Probably the name is "jdk-16.0.1", so jdk finds nothing. Then you have to find another incantation, like install jdk-17 first. Or use rpm command instead, with --no-deps. -- Saludos/Cheers Carlos E. R.

Are the additional packages to be removed "unneeded dependencies"? If not, how do I tell zypper to keep them.

Or, using "yast2 sw_single", repo tab, select the local repo that contains the packages, mark to remove 16, mark to install 17. Or use rpm nodeps to remove 16, and rpm to instal 17. Not zypper. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))

Yes, I found that YaST doesn't seem to consider those packages as dependent, so that's what I did. For good measure, afterwards I also did an unconditional update to LibreOffice just to make sure it had no hooks into the old Java. Leslie -- Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.3 x86_64
