you mean something like:

Almost. You need to specify the actual package name.
That's what meant with kdebase ;)
This is hardly a working solution when compared to:
# zypper in $ # smart install $
It wasn't intended as a solution to the above. You posted that RPM needs the packages to be local. I posted to correct that and to allow you, and others that may not know about the ability to actually download packages, to learn something new about RPM.
Heck, for a few years, and despite reading the RPM man pages several times, I still managed to miss this snippet from the RPM man page:
<quote> rpm {-F|--freshen} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
This will upgrade packages, but only if an earlier version currently exists. The PACKAGE_FILE may be specified as an ftp or http URL, in which case the package will be downloaded before being installed. See FTP/HTTP OPTIONS for information on rpm's internal ftp and http client support. </quote>
and that was despite the "FTP/HTTP OPTIONS" being in nice bold letters.

I definitely learned something new.
