   I've been using   
       zypper patch --with-update   
   to maintain my system for a couple of years now.  Starting a few weeks   
   ago I occasionally get error messages such as:   
      
   ************************ start of paste ********************************   
      
   Checking for file conflicts:   
   ......................................................................[error]   
   Detected 1 file conflict:   
      
   File /sbin/init   
      from install of   
         systemd-254.27-150600.4.46.2.x86_64 (update-sle (15.6))   
      conflicts with file   
         /usr/sbin/init   
      from install of   
         systemd-254.27-150600.4.46.2.x86_64 (update-sle (15.6))   
      
   File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with   
   the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files   
   will be replaced losing the previous content.   
   Continue? [yes/no] (no):   
      
   *************************** end of paste ************************   
      
   There are obviously two other ways I can go forward from this,   
   - Yast2 Online Update (I can't remember if I've tried that, but I think   
   I have)   
   - the standard kde tool for applying updates, the one normally set up to   
   run every 24 hours.  That works without complaint.   
      
   Any suggestions as to why this is happening?   
   It happens on two systems, one of them is the one I updated to 16.0   
   before "updating" back to 15.6.  The other one has been on 15.6 since I   
   updated from 15.5 some time ago.   
      
   I've tried "zypper patch", no change.   
   I've tried "zypper update", no change.   
   Obviously I'm running zypper as root, either via sudo (one system) or   
   via ssh root@ (second system).   
   I do not have any machine currently running 15.6 which does not have   
   this problem.
