This is actually something that I came around several times now:
I updated multiple packages and something stopped working but I wasn't able to 
revert to the previous ones (it should be possible with btrfs but this is 
still unstable).

Only 2 options are available now:
1) revert to distro versions
2) live with the bugs

Some more elegant way to revert to (any previous) version should be available 
though as the first option is rather inconvenient. Take X11:XOrg for example: 
I have been using the repo on 12.1 but several packages have been split or 
newly introduced in that repo. Switching back without leaving packages from 
X11:XOrg was only possible manually and is not that comfortable!

This is something we should request from the zypper team though - leaving old 
build packages in the repo (or some sort of repo snapshots) is just one part 
of the deal...
