mv /sbin/yast /sbin/yast.bak
mv /sbin/YaST /sbin/YaST.bak
mv /sbin/zast /sbin/zast.bak  

now the rpm will install.

Note however that SuSE does as of yet not support this oficially, and
that all that I have tested is the option in:

Package Management --> Install packages

to install or update packages, not any other option to configure the
system.
