Listmates,

There are a couple of packages in factory that are causing dependency hell
for 11.0. For some reason someone named many of the kde packages with very,
very high minor numbers that take priority over newer packages. An example
is:

/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/python-kde4-4.3.80-11.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdelibs4-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdelibs4-core-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkde4-devel-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkdecore4-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkde4-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdelibs4-doc-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkdecore4-devel-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm
/var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdebase4-runtime-4.3.80-166.2.i586.rpm

for KDE this perfectly sane I think. KDE 4.3.80 is beta1 of KDE 4.4 that is being prepared in Factory. don't add Factory if you don't know what to
expect from it (which means especially breakage at the beginning of the release cycle).

There are other cases where I was not (yet) able to find an ample explanation: the ffmpeg packages in packman are called 0.5.<svn-rev>. Which is
clearly wrong. The current release is 0.5.0, which will lead most likely to 0.5.1 or any other 0.5.x version. There a problem will arise (without
introducing an epoch0.

for your case above, nothing weird or strange.... all perfectly under control.
