Help from my GNU Emacsen 23.3 and 23.4:
delete-selection-mode is a variable defined in `delsel.el'.
Its value is t
Documentation:
Non-nil if Delete-Selection mode is enabled.
See the command `delete-selection-mode' for a description of this minor
mode.
Setting this variable directly does not take effect;
either customize it (see the info node `Easy Customization')
or call the function `delete-selection-mode'.
You can customize this variable.
Have you tried to build it yourself? Maybe Novell/Suse have decided to
distribute something castrated that vaguely resembles GNU Emacs. Does delsel.el
or delsel.elc exist in your system?
Are you performing your tests without init files loaded?
I actually don't remember that I ever erased selected regions with delete. I am
using often delete-region, which does not put useless text into the kill-ring.
And also do not have anything set in my init files containing the strings
"delete" or "select" that can be related to selected regions and deleting them.
Cua-mode is interfering. Although I have other reasons to switch it off.
