It seems it is not possible to install the latest official release of OpenJDK (1.8.0, from the update repository) together with the latest official release of SeaMonkey (2.48, from the mozilla repository) on Leap 42.3.
FWIW, the SeaMonkey 2.48 with which I write this on openSUSE came from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.48/contrib/
Zypper and YaST tell me that this is because seamonkey-2.48-1.3.x86_64 requires mozilla-nspr >= 4.15, whereas java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.144-13.3.x86_64 requires mozilla-nss = 3.28.5. ... This is likely not a packaging bug, nor a bug at all, its a design decision we have taken with Leap to stay at a fixed version of many software components for stability, as such its not going to always be possible to install the latest versions of software like seamonkey on leap as we don't meet there version requirements for dependencies.
Surely something must be wrong with *something*, if not packaging, that any java* package can require any specific mozilla* (Portable Runtime) package that can block keeping a web browser, particularly a mozilla browser, current. "Latest" SeaMonkey isn't even current. Current arguably would be the yet to be released SeaMonkey 2.49.x, equivalent to Firefox ESR52/rv52, which *is* in standard 42.3 update repo. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
