The problem is that factory is inconsistent. It contains a new rpm package, but
dependent packages like e.g. zypper/libzypp are still old (linked against
rpm-4.4).
The second problem, and IMO the only thing we could/should? fix, is that
'zypper in' still uses force resolve.
Without this, the suggested deletion of zypper/libzyp/etc. would have been
reported as dependency conflict, telling that there is no provider for
librpmdb-4.4. With this information one might recognize that factory is not
consistent. At least one has to explicitly confirm the deletion.
Currently (with --force) zypper behaves as if everything went well.
One may use --force per default when removing packages, but I don't know why it
should be needed when installing. It just disguises potential problems.
