Zypper no longer recognising --no-allow-vendor-change

Version 1.14.53 of zypper from the SLE Update repo doesn’t recognise the parameter --no-allow-vendor-change. I had no problem with version 1.14.52, from the Main repo. Where do I report this?

It does for me. Show complete command line and full output including subsequent prompt.

I use the following script:

sudo zypper up -l --no-allow-vendor-change
echo “end”
read finish

Thanks for the tip, Sauerland. I changed the value to “false” and the problem disappeared.
