zypper -si but you’ll probably find rpm -qa easier to parse. Also zypper has patches use the t flag but I still got a difference of 10 and no longer care to find out why/what.

And as a slower add on. You can do a lot with that* rpm -qa* one. Look at mine and see what it does:

rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}:%{VERSION}:%{RELEASE}:%{INSTALLTID}:%{SUMMARY}
' | sort

Just an example. See the man rpm page.
