Zypper's solution to a missing package is to remove Plasma and other KDE apps

[hui]

Discussed already in several threads and the factory ML:

After Todays Update Only IceDM is Available

I ran ‘zypper dup’ today and it crashed while it was installing and rebooted. Now the only manager you can select is ‘Icedm’. It will boot into that. I tried dropping back to previous kernel and same problem. I tried running ‘zypper dup’ again from terminal but it says "Nothing to do’. I was running Wayland but that and kde plasma no longer show up as choices on the boot menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
