Then, fire up Yast/Software Management and search for everything that depends on libzypp. Everything that is installed (here there are 8 packages, default installation) likely needs to be /forcibly/ refreshed. Snip
I think I understood most of your suggestion. However, the above is not clear to me. I found these 7 packages that depend on libzypp. Do I forcibly remove all and re-install all of them? No, you don't need to remove them. On the yast menu bar, click Packages/All in this list/Update unconditionally.
That will re-install any packages already installed, but will not add any new ones.

I then tried to reinstall the remaining 7 packages (dependencies of libzypp) via yast. But that failed with the error that the system could not connect to any of the repoertories.
