That is a genuine bug in opensuse to be reported.
The original usecase was as follows: There are two kerberos implementations
in opensuse: One with a dummy kerberos and the full fledged MIT kerberos, the

from ISO images the other one is default. The statement is needed to switch
packages (remove and install) on the fly. It was not intended to work around
Bugs in opensuse.
