I want to get a list of all available versions of a package, the same list that you can see in Yast, but using zypper.

OpenSuse 13.1, zypper 1.9.16

Use search -s. For example, sudo zypper search -s fortune might give this output:

    Since I just had to look it up: The **S** in the header of the first column stands for "Status". The values are: **i** -> Installed. **v** -> Another version installed. Blank space -> Neither – twobeers May 13 '16 at 11:40

    ... and **i+** means package installed by user request – linux64kb Oct 10 '22 at 06:41
