My message was not a guess.
-------------------------
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521178-zypper-symbol-lookup-error-usr-lib64-libproxy-so-1-undefined-symbol


installed
libmodman1-2.0.1-17.9.x86_64.rpm
from the TW repository

zypper won't work so
sudo rpm -Uvh --force ./libmodman1-2.0.1-17.9.x86_64.rpm
-------------------------

The problem raised at forums.opensuse came from someone who had Current
and Tumbleweed enabled repositories. The Current repository brought in a
higher-numbered, incompatible version of libmodman.

In my case, somehow a LEAP 42.3 repository was enabled. (I have no idea
how that happened. Probably part of a ymp and I wasn't giving adequate
attention to the install.)

I downloaded the correct version and installed it with rpm.

Then I disabled (it worked) and eventually removed the LEAP 42.3
repository after some research. Something could have been done with
priorities and locks, but it wasn't necessary.


That there were several people with the same issue makes me think that
others had something similar to the forum OP and myself.

If this is so, then I don't know how to solve _that_ problem. I don't
think that it's possible to add a repository unwittingly. And even if I
had known that the LEAP 42.3 repository was being added, I'm not sure
that I would (or even know how to) ensure that there were no such conflicts.

Whatever the cause, the issue I encountered was operator error, not any
of the internal repository issues mentioned.
