update it shows up. It's more than annoying it's needless software that
I don't have a need for. Below is the only info available as to why I
must install this thing:

"This update fixes problems with command 'xsetwacom list'."

I'd like to have a way to cancel stuff forever..

That's because it is probably already installed because it was a
dependency for something or other. I've been frustrated by this for
years having to install support for stuff I don't have like ISDN,
bluetooth, palm utilities, etc. Heck, SaX even has a dependency for
the intel 915 chipset, which was never available on a mac. When you
get right down to it, it's not just openSUSE's devs. It also has to
do with the dependencies that the authors feel the need to impose.
