TL;DR: I’m not the only one being partially word-blind.
I had the below while performing a zypper distribution upgrade on "openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160726) (x86_64)".
revue:/etc # zypper dist-upgrade
...
Detected 2 file conflicts:
File /usr/bin/mt
from install of
mt-st-1.3-1.1.x86_64 (Main Repository (OSS))
conflicts with file from package
mt_st-1.3-1.2.x86_64 (@System)
File /usr/sbin/stinit
from install of
mt-st-1.3-1.1.x86_64 (Main Repository (OSS))
conflicts with file from package
mt_st-1.3-1.2.x86_64 (@System)
File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content.
Continue? [yes/no] (no): no
Problem occured during or after installation or removal of packages:
Installation aborted by user
Please see the above error message for a hint.
Did you see the cause of the error in the above message?
Neither did I.
So I went to the #opensuse-factory IRC channel on freenode with this information:

There cooloo pointed out both the cause and solution were deceptively simple:
coolo: wiert: zypper remove mt_st ; zypper dup; zypper in mt-st
coolo: the package was incorrectly renamed
My partial word-blindness didn’t spot the difference between mt_st and mt-st, but it was indeed renamed.
So here I went:
zypper remove mt_st ; zypper dist-upgrade; zypper install mt-st
Note that strictly zypper install mt-st isn’t needed on my system as it is part of Base:System. which means that zypper dist-upgrade automatically re-installed it.

Kev:
Try the command line tool expand.
expand -t 4 input >output
Chrono Kitsune:
And for those systems that don’t use the GNU Core Utilities, you have a decent chance of expand being installed since it is standardized by The Open Group’s Single Unix Specification. See Issue 6, which is from 2001, though some updates were applied, hence the year of publication being 2004: expand

One day I’m going to need this: Make A Bootable Windows 10 USB Install Stick On Linux With WinUSB Fork ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog
So I’m glad WinUSB (which hadn’t been maintained for a long time) got forked on github by slaka.
Since my day-to-day unix-like system is OS X, I’d love a good working solution there too which means I probably need to investigate a bit along these lines:
- Using diskpart in a Windows VM (which is kind of backwards):
- Using Disk Utility and UEFI (only works for Windows 8 and up):
- Using Boot Camp Assistant and a modified Info.plist (which for El Capitan needs some extra work):

sponge, a great *nix tool part of moreutils:
sponge: soak up standard input and write to a file
Now need to figure out how to get it on Tumbleweed; maybe http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/23781842/dir/opensuse/com/moreutils-0.48-1.1.i586.rpm.html

Multihoming without BGP with home routers and Linux. Need to apply this on OpenSuSE one day: HOWTO: Multirouting with Linux : Luke Cyca Dot Calm.
Basically it does Multirouting of Sessions using NAT, routing tables, rules, removal of the default routing and adding a round robin routing, fixing DNS, adding more rules and creating a failover script.
In case it ever goes offline: the WayBack Machine link.
Some more background research links:

Woof is a small simple stupid webserver that can easily be invoked on a single file. Your partner can access the file with tools he trusts (e.g. wget). No need to enter passwords on keyboards where you don’t know about keyboard sniffers, no need to start a huge lot of infrastructure, just do a
$ woof filenameand
tell the recipient the URL woof spits out. When he got that file, woof will quit and everything is done.And when someone wants to send you a file, woof has a switch to offer itself, so he can get woof and offer a file to you. …
Woof needs Python on a unix’ish operating system. Some people have used it successfully on Windows within the cygwin environment.

Works from homebrew on OS X.

Since quite a few commands that you regularly see mentioned on the web have been removed from OpenSuSE net-tools, I’ve created a few bash aliases in /etc/bash.bashrc.local below.
Note the original commands are not good have been deprecated for years on various distros and therefore removed:
# stuff removed from net-tools
# see https://features.opensuse.org/317197 and https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/network:utilities/net-tools/net-tools.changes
## Because of changes on Thu Apr 10 12:33:41 UTC 2014
alias "arp=echo 'use \"ip neigh\" or \"ip -r neight\"' && ip neigh"
alias "ifconfig=echo 'use \"ip a\"' && ip a"
alias "netstat= echo 'use \"ss\" or \"ss -r\"' && ss"
alias "route=echo 'use \"ip r\"' && ip r"
## Because of changes on Sun Mar 29 00:41:21 UTC 2015
alias "ipmaddr=echo 'use \"ip maddr\"' && ip maddr"
alias "iptunnel=echo 'use \"ip tunnel\"' && ip tunnel"
Some bits of the net-tools change-log:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Mar 29 00:41:21 UTC 2015 - jengelh@inai.de
- ipmaddr and iptunnel are obsolete too, move them to subpackage.
(Superseded by `ip maddr` and `ip tunnel`)
- remove redundant %clean section
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 10 12:33:41 UTC 2014 - mmarek@suse.cz
- Move arp, ifconfig, netstat and route to a -deprecated subpackage
(fate#317196, fate#317197)
- Drop the rarp tool, which has been broken since kernel 2.3
Note that the -lntu parameter seems to be the same for both ss and netstat: [WayBack] Get a list of Open Ports in Linux – Super User

After zypper dup (dist-upgrade) or zypper up (update) a zypper ps will list processes using deleted files (i.e. processes that likely need to be restarted).
Some processes that can be restarted without reboot:
To research
- dhcpcd
- rs:main
- agetty
- lvmetad
- agetty
- dmeventd
Some processes that require a reboot:

I long while after asking TUMBLEWEED: local console yast linedrawing characters garbage after first reboot, I researched the issue further.
First the workaround:
It is enough if any user on any console (for which /usr/bin/tty will usually show /dev/tty#) runs /bin/unicode_start.
After that, any user that logs on on any console will get the correct line-drawing characters with yast.
Then about the problem:
It looks like the problem is that during boot, nothing calls /bin/unicode_start. This was a solved bug, but seems to be back in Tumbleweed so I posted a comment to the bug.
I don’t think it is related to a truckload of PuTTY UTF-8 line-drawing issues like below. I’ve included them just for reference in any case proves me wrong (:
Same for changing unicode_start by hand:
