The "trinity-libarts-akode" package requires the library "libakode.so.2", which is supposed to be provided by "trinity-akode" package. In your case, zypper found that it was provided by "libakode".
Notice that the Trinity's package for Akode is split in several smaller package, e.g. "trinity-akode" and several "libakode_xxx".
I do not even have any 'libakode' package available in my 42.1 installation,
I didn't expect anyone would, since there is no such package in 42.1 repos for zypper to find.
so where does it come from ? Maybe it is inherited from a previous opensuse release that you have upgraded , or it comes from another 3rd party repository...
42.1 in this case is an upgrade (zypper dup) from _Factory_ (before the name change to Tumbleweed, from an installation last upgraded as Factory in December 2014). What I don't understand is how to get rid of the libakode package when the package manager claims other packages depend on it. Will rpm -e --nodeps not break the TDE packages that zypper claims depend on it? Why doesn't zypper recognize the trinity* package(s) you mention as providing the required libs? Are the Trinity packages broken WRT dependencies?
Yes, you can forcibly remove the libakode package (rpm -e --nodeps) and then install trinity-akode , it won't break your system;.
It is likely that 'libakode' was installed before Trinity on your computer, and the 'trinity-akode' does not obsolete 'libakode', so it was kept intact.
