Description Casual J. Programmer 2008-07-27 10:00:45 UTC 
Trying to reinstall MPlayer i experience the following:

 # zypper in mplayer
Reading installed packages...
'MPlayer' is already installed.
Nothing to do.

 # zypper in -f mplayer
Reading installed packages...
'mplayer' not found
Nothing to do.

 # zypper in -f MPlayer
Reading installed packages...

The following package is going to be reinstalled:
  MPlayer 


Overall download size: 11.0 M. No additional space will be used or freed after the operation.
Continue? [YES/no]: 

So zypper is case insensitive without -f option and case aware with -f option, which seems a bit weird...
