I would rm the symlink, rename (i.e. mv localtime.rpmnew localtime, and
then run Yast to check that the localtime is still properly set for your
clock.
rpm -qf says the file is from the timezone package, but there was too
many files to list with rpm -ql.  I would guess that is one of the
changes in that package, but you can be sure Yast and the timezone
package from 10.2 are matched.
