Description Sebastian Parschauer 2017-05-02 13:36:21 UTC 
I've already reported to the opensuse-factory mailing list that the factory-repo-checker complains about libreadline conflicts and blocks my parted requests this way.

The problem is that openSUSE:Factory pulls in obsolete libreadline5 while all tools using readline-devel pull in libreadline7 additionally. readline5-devel conflicts with readline7-doc.

See:
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/491642
https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-05/msg00014.html

osc meta prjconf openSUSE:Factory | less
...
    145 Prefer: libreadline5
...

This line has to be removed or changed to libreadline7.
