Re: [opensuse-factory] was multiversion support in zypp.conf ever added to 11.0?

So providing the kernel that worked is required. Updating zypper
alone is not a solution!
Presumably someone who runs 11.0 actually backs up their system?

That would not help.
A "native" OpenSUSE/SLES/SLED system just has one kernel to boot.
And if it does't, you won't reach your backups with ease.

Well I actually had the problem, due to update being screwed up, and I
sorted it fairly simply, with a Live CD, the rpm(8) man page, chroot &
mkinitrd, and fetching known good kernel rpm's. Fetching the files
from backup would have been even simpler.

Surely someone has the rpm's still? This issue has been the same in
SuSE for ages and folk have muddled through, even though this was
obviously severely compromising the enterprise worthiness of the
distro.
