I recently used merlyn to install the kde3 repository, https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/16.0/.
After doing this, zypper up offers to replace kdiff3 with kde3-kdiff3. This does not seem like correct behaviour - to replace a package from a standard repo with an older version from a non-standard repo.
Show your repolist and the full output of the zypper commands.
Trying to reproduce your steps does not show this behaviour. So something is missing in the story.
zypper in kdiff3zypper ref and upThere is no attempt to change the package.
It is only reproducible when setting the kde3 repo to a higher priority (lowering number) and performing a full
zypper dup --allow-vedor-change --from kde3
As kde3-kdiff3 explicitely obsoletes kdiff3 (defined in spec and package), kdiff3 gets replaced by kde3-kdiff3.
This is the joy of using deprecated DE versions.
Ok, here is what I see in 16.0RC, running in a virtualbox vm. The problem does not occur with 15.6 on hardware.

I am not sure why you want to post your repo list here, but when doing so, please use something like zypper lr -d so the URLs are included. Without the URLs the Names and Aliases in the table provide only suggestions. And it is not good in computer matters to give advises based on suggestions.

The problem is gone! There were some updates last night to kde3 packages, and after installing these, everything works correctly. Somebody has fixed something. Thank you.
