I just can't install nVidia drivers from rpm. Everything worked just fine till last version, and here's the error I've got:

# zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG02 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default

Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]: i


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. To fix the problem or 

2. to provide us some option in Zypper for downgrading packages since previous version of nVidia drivers worked just fine.


Expected Results:  
nVidia drivers to work

hwinfo | grep -i nvidia
  pci.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation'
  info.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation'
  Model: "nVidia GeForce 8600 GT"
  Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation"
