The approach I took with the script, was designed to target the problem I experienced when I inadvertently installed several qt45 apps that killed Yast deader-than-a-doornail. Not knowing for sure which were the conflicting rpms, disabling the repos that were suspect, identifying the packages that had been installed from the repo, and downgrading to oss solved my problem.
I agree that if a reinstall of zypper from the dvd with either --oldpackage or --force, will pull in the and downgrade the required files, then that is certainly the first step, and probably the solution in this case.
However, what the script does for the situation that the zypper dvd reinstall doesn't, is to help identify those packages from repo X that had been installed on the system that would provide a good starting point for backing out packages if for some reason the zypper reload didn't work.
...and... having collected the pieces and put them back together, I now have a fairly generic base for repo parsing and comparison against the installed set of packages;-)
