   The problem should happen no matter the tool you use, as long as you ask   
   the same thing of them.   
      
   What I have never seen is a conflict with files from the same patch as   
   appears you get. Maybe you have some repo defined twice. You could post   
   the result of "zypper lr --details" trying to avoid line wrap.   
      
   Otherwise, ask in the mail list.
