Yeah, the above message states it is not there...

I guess that suse_base has a REQUIREDBY entry pointing to that version of
communicator. I don't know how it has got there, but you may try to
remove it manually. Go to /var/db/pkg/suse_base*/+REQUIREDBY, edit that
file and remove the reference to communicator...

Should solve the problem.
