Description Juergen Weigert 2009-10-22 14:00:00 UTC 
On a default installation, where postfix is installed, test this:
# zypper in sendmail
Resolving package dependencies...

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  m4 sendmail 

The following package is going to be REMOVED:
  postfix 

2 new packages to install, 1 to remove.
Overall download size: 1.4 MiB. After the operation, additional 497.0 KiB will be used.
Continue? [y/n/?] (y): p
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: sendmail-8.14.3-50.78.x86_64 conflicts with postfix provided by postfix-2.6.1-1.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: deinstallation of postfix-2.6.1-1.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing sendmail

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c

Typing p at the prompt works as expected, but the user has no chance to access the problem description, as p is not advertised.

Aaah, stupid mistake!!

       popts.setOptions(_("y/n/p/v/a/r/m/d/g"), 0);
-      popts.setShownCount(2);
+      popts.setShownCount(3);
       if (!(zypper.runtimeData().force_resolution && show_p_option))
         popts.disable(2);

Thanx for reporting! fixed in git, will be in next zypper, hopefully in time for the 11.2 GM
