That's because zypper lies. If you look at zypper's output you can see that it wrote "xorg-x11-libX11" instead of your "xorg-x11-libx11". I don't think this qualifies as a feature, zypper should be case sensitive.
I (and i hope many people too) find it annoying to type 'in MPlayer' instead of 'in mplayer', to give an example. So i qualify this as a feature. OTOH, we could improve zypper's feedback in case like this. It could say something like 'mplayer not found, will install MPlayer'... -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
