[opensuse] More zen problems

Sorry to be a pest, but zen still hasn't done a successful update since
the libzypp update last week.
Last time, at Joe Morris's prompting, I did the update with YOU, and had
only temporary problems. I haven't tried YOU yet, but Andreas asked for
a bug report for the last one, and I want to give him a chance to see
this episode. Should I add today's zmd-*log files to the bug report? or
generate a new one? or just go away :-)?
This time, zen came up asking to update acroread and xine-lib, once each
for a security update and once each for an i586 package update. I
clicked "update".
After a longer than usual wait (10 --15 minutes in each case), it came
back with the following message box:
Transaction failed: Transaction preparation failed: Package
hal-32bit-0.5.8_git20061106-31.1 is already installed.
I think this is the one I did with YOU yesterday at Joe Morris's
prompting.
I tried having zen update the packages one at a time. For acroread
security, a message box pops up after a long time:
Install the following additional software
acroread - 7.0.9-2.1 (Package)
Looking at AR, I see 7.0.8 05/22/2006. I click "Apply".
I immediately get the message box:
Transaction failed: Transaction preparation failed: Package
hal-32bit-0.5.8_git20061106-31.1 is already installed.
I deselect acroread, select xine security. After a long time, I get the box
Install the following additional software
xine-lib - 1.1.2-40.1 (Package)
rpm -q says xine is not installed. I click "Apply".
I immediately get the message box:
Transaction failed: Transaction preparation failed: Package
hal-32bit-0.5.8_git20061106-31.1 is already installed.
I try the acroread (i586) update. After a long time, the main box says
"Preparing Software...", then a message box says:
Transaction failed: Transaction preparation failed: Package
hal-32bit-0.5.8_git20061106-31.1 is already installed.
I got corresponding results for the xine (i586) package update.
So YOU didn't update the database yesterday? If that's the problem, how
can I fix it?
If xine is not installed, why does zen want to update it? Didn't
someone here say there should be no update requests for uninstalled
software?
And why am I suddenly having so much trouble, and no one else seems to
be having any?
Finally, should I go ahead and use YOU to get the blob blue again? If I
use YOU, how do reconcile the database?
