Description:
icosmaster01:/home/sysop # zypper install mysql-community-server mysql-community-client

Refreshing service 'SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Server_12_x86_64'.

Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

Resolving package dependencies...
Installing MySQL 5.6 from MySQL repo wants non existing package shadow-utils.

How to repeat:
zypper install mysql-community-release-sles11-5.norarch.rpm
zypper update
zypper install mysql-community-server mysql-community-client 
...
Problem: nothing provides shadow-utils needed by mysql-community-server-5.6.22-3.sles11.x86_64

Solution 1: do not install mysql-community-server-5.6.22-3.sles11.x86_64

Solution 2: break mysql-community-server-5.6.22-3.sles11.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Suggested fix:
Do NOT use packages provided by the distro OR provide those packages yourself!

Hi Oli,

thanks for your report. 

Our MySQL SUSE Repository don't support SLES 12 at the moment, we support
SLES 11.3.

SLES 12 includes several changes, among these is removal of pwdutils package.

The SLES 11 version of pwdutils has shadow-utils as provide.

The replacement package in SLES 12: shadow has pwdutils as provide, 
however don't provide shadow-utils. 

Causing shadow-utils not to be provided in SLES 12.

When adding support for SLES 12 we will adjust our packages requirements.

Thank you for the report.

I think it should be verified as feature request: "Please provide packages for SLES 12"

Hi again Oli,
