Comment 1 Michael Schröder 2011-11-08 11:13:19 UTC 
I'm inclined to classify this as "doctor it hurts when I do this" and close it as WONTFIX ;)
Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2011-11-08 11:21:39 UTC 
why did it work on 11.4?
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2011-11-09 08:17:10 UTC 
bug in 11.4? :)

So should we workaround this in zypper as redhat did it in yum?
NFS and sshfs are pretty common setups these days
and cnf recommends running a sudo zypper install line
