// containerd package pre-installed. The Mirantis containerd.io package set
// must obsolete/replace it, which zypper treats as a vendor change and will
// not perform non-interactively without --allow-vendor-change -- it
// otherwise silently cancels and exits non-zero. See PRODENG-3623.
//
// INTERIM WORKAROUND: this bypasses the generic InstallPackage helper only
// because rig's zypper provider runs `zypper install -y` with no way to pass
// --allow-vendor-change. The proper fix belongs upstream in k0sproject/rig
// (issue k0sproject/rig#417, PR k0sproject/rig#418). Once that lands and is
// vendored, revert this to the generic InstallPackage path (or rig's opt-in
// option, depending on the shape upstream accepts).
