zypp does not change the architecture of an installed package. When checking for 'best' (or 'better') package - architecture is compared first - then edition (epoch, version, release) > > 2) Quite the same as 1), but during a system upgrade: Any differences in > this respect between a system upgrade and an online update? Yes. System upgrade might change (upgrade) the architecture of a package.
