Old habits die hard :^). zypper rm would be more appropriate, but neither are *wrong* and both accomplish the task at hand.
Zypper in my case takes minutes *before* attempting any removal, which is actually done by rpm in the end. That is, zypper first downloads the repository metadata, then computes what to do, then it mandates rpm to do it.
Just call rpm yourself and be done, instantly.
unless you also want to get those packages removed which got pulled in as a package required by the one to be removed now. This is where "zypper rm -u" really _can_ help a lot ;) HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
