-- Set libwayland-egl1 version to 18.x.x_{%wayland_version} until
-  wayland becomes bigger; needed due to Mesa providing this
-  package in the past as version 18.0.2/18.1.5 (sle15/TW)
+- Downgrades do not work in SLES service packs, because the SP0
+  repo remains enabled for SP1. (This is unlike Leap, where a 15.1
+  system will have no 15.0 directories.) As such, to force the
+  upgrade from Mesa:libwayland-egl1 to wayland:libwayland-egl1,
+  the number in wayland is bumped to >18.
