Remember that his "zypper" segfaults. He can not use zypper for
anything, (nor yast) just raw rpm.

Yes,

The script uses rpm. I guess I should have added that if the OP (I'm not going
to try to spell the name) can't even use zypper lr to find out what
repositories he has, then he will need to just look in /etc/zypp/repos.d to get
the URLs for the offending repos, then the script will take care of the rest.

Zypper didn't have anything to do with the repair beyond having text config
files that will point to the URL of the repository where the conflicting
updates came from. Then it just checks whether any of the files in that repo
are installed via rpm -q and if so, then downgrades the package to the original
..... crud! I knew I missed something.... This will do it:
