Very interesting and new knowledge. I first heard of the locks file in a
reply when I mentioned that packages I built and installed were being
removed. At that time the file didn't exist on my systems, so I never
got the syntax correct. I can't remember seeing "locks" in the zypper
manpage back then, but the current manpage gives a good description and
a pointer to the locks manpage.
Regards
Sid.
