Description James Ogley 2008-12-04 11:35:20 UTC

The output of rpm -qf filename is package-name-VERSION-RELEASE.
zypper remove package-name-VERSION-RELEASE works but yast2 --remove package-name-VERSION-RELEASE does not mark that package for removal - you have to just do yast2 --remove package-name.

It seems to me that the zypper behaviour is correct.

This behavior is described in the help text (see 'yast2 --help'), use zypper if you need to remove a package with version number.
