Guys,
This was a bit surprising. last night a simply zypper up on 4.23 and 15.0 brought in new packages 'brltty' and 'qemu' requiring ~120M of storage for packages that will not even work on my system and slowed desktop startup and responsiveness to a crawl on Virtualbox installs.
It is worse. Even "zypper patch" will install it # zypper lp Repository | Name | Category | Severity | Interactive | Status | Summary ---------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+-------------+--------+-------------------------- Updates-os-Leap_15.0 | openSUSE-2019-232 | security | moderate | --- | needed | Security update for build # zypper patch The following 27 NEW packages are going to be installed: kvm_stat libcacard0 libfdt1 libpmem1 librbd1 libspice-server1 libusbredirparser1 libvdeplug3 libvirglrenderer0 ovmf pmdk qemu qemu-block-curl qemu-block-rbd qemu-ipxe qemu-ksm qemu-kvm qemu-ovmf-x86_64 qemu-seabios qemu-sgabios qemu-tools qemu-ui-curses qemu-ui-gtk qemu-ui-sdl qemu-vgabios qemu-x86 xen-libs The following NEW patch is going to be installed: openSUSE-2019-232 The following 3 packages are going to be upgraded: build build-mkbaselibs build-mkdrpms 3 packages to upgrade, 27 new.

Why is the braille driver and qemu being pulled in as recommends on a simple zypper up?
In order to restore desktop startup speed and fix the virtualbox installs I had to specifically get rid of the unneeded packages with
# zypper rm --clean-deps brltty qemu
There are probably less than 0.01% of users with hardware capable of braille interpretation. What package is responsible for this, or how can I figure it out?
This seems like a complete unintended consequence to some packaging change. There is no reason we should no have to run:
# zypper up --no-recommends
just to prevent unwanted software from being installed on update.
