IIRC they are the same package, it's just that it's been rebuilt from the same source a second time. I don't know why dup downloads the rebuilt kernel package anyway though. On 12 February 2017 at 22:57, stakanov wrote:

When using kernel stable with zypper up, normally the kernel gets updated from kernel stable. Recently it is on a 50% basis that one has to run zypper dup. From a version perspective I can see no difference between the kernels. So I do not understand really the reasons for this. Example as of today:

kernel-default-4.9.9-1.1.g6c5120c

does not update with "up" to

kernel-default-4.9.9-1.2.g6c5120c

Using zypper dup no problem. The last kernel update then did not need it. So, what is the technical reason for a kernel update to require dup or up? Thank you.
