There is an option despite what is in the link (as that one is slightly unrelated I think). I was thinking earlier about adding --allow-downgrade to all zypper install invocations in libvirt-ci, but by the time I got to writing the patch it fixed itself and I could not reproduce it. Just like now with this issue. There are couple more "Expert options" but I did not think very hard about using the other ones. Anyway, here's the list: --allow-downgrade --no-allow-downgrade Whether to allow downgrading installed resolvables. --allow-name-change --no-allow-name-change Whether to allow changing the names of installed resolvables. --allow-arch-change --no-allow-arch-change Whether to allow changing the architecture of installed resolvables. --allow-vendor-change --no-allow-vendor-change Whether to allow changing the vendor of installed resolvables. Should I write the patch for --allow-downgrade?

Just like now with this issue.Yes, I notice the issue had "fixed itself" :-/ I guess it's some transient problem with the OpenSUSE repositories.> There are couple more "Expert options" but I did not think very hard > about using the other ones.

It'll be hard to know definitively if it solves the problem. We'll just have to hope that the problem goes away completely, and add a comment about why the option seemed to be needed. Same thing happens in libvirt CI?
