Won't work. The problem is KDE it seems.  I use the XFCE desktop primarily but did also installed KDE and a few more desktops (just in order to check them). But the only KDE program that I really want is Amarok.

Vælg blandt løsningerne ovenfor med nummer eller skip, forsøg igen eller annullér [1/2/s/f/a] (a): a  <<-- this 'a' prompts automatically (gives me no choice) and when I try same option from YaST GUI it just reinstalls what it just removed. This is after I removed Amarok and a few other KDE programs aswell as the old MariaDB server.. originally the conflict list was longer!

I have tried different things from command-line and GUI, but it seems that I will need to remove a lot of KDE software making use of MySQL, if it shall be possible to continue. Else it will not let me remove mariadb-client-10.0.13. Did someone say *depencency hell* :-). 

It will probably be easier to do a fresh install of SuSE without KDE! Unless your RPMs can handle the conflicts (replacing themselves with what is already installed).Restoring snapshot!

I've tried to repeat this - but over ssh, so I used text-mode yast2.
Supposedly, selecting "install with packet manager" from the context
menu is equivalent to "sudo yast2 -i /path/to/file.rpm" (I don't know
for sure).

Here's the issue. MariaDB-server package depends on other MariaDB-*
packages. Normally yast or yum fetch dependencies automatically from a
repository. But you don't install from a repository, you install a
specific file. In this case yast cannot fetch dependencies. You have to
install either all packages in one command, like this:

  sudo yast2 -i MariaDB*server.rpm MariaDB*client.rpm MariaDB*common.rpm

or you can do it with GUI and a context menu - but you need to install
MariaDB*common.rpm first, then MariaDB*client.rpm, and only then you can
install MariaDB*server.rpm.

I tried both solutions - both worked.

Regards,
Sergei

P.S. Now, when we build for SuSE, I hope we will provide a proper
package repository and yast will be able to resolve dependencies automatically.
