I don't recall the history of why this was locked for you. If the package is
installed, keeping it locked could eventually prevent upgrades of other Mesa*
packages.

Be sure the following are installed:

	liblzma5-5.6.1.revertto5.4-3.2.i586.rpm
	xz-5.6.1.revertto5.4-3.2.i586.rpm

If they aren't, you need to do another zypper dup.
