Cockpit installation

I try to install cockpit and I get the following conflict flagged:

Having got the machine restored to a 15.6 equivalent state; before I start breaking the installation, has anybody come across this conflict; can I de-install busybox-hostname without breaking the install?

Some additional info:

Conflicts      : hostname

Is there a way of listing actual “dependent” packages for busybox-hostname?

What is the output of zypper se -i hostname on your system?

Also post:

zypper lr -d

Because I don’t find busybox-hostname on my Installation.

It’s not available anymore, delete it, use solution 1

1 is the right choice.

The busybox-somethin' is haunting openSUSE for years.

zypper search --requires-pkg --match-exact busybox-hostname

This was a clean installation. Now all working.
