stupid question, how do I avoid that zypper removes the installed
kernel packages (when updating)?


The following packages are going to be REMOVED:
kernel-default kernel-default kernel-default kernel-default
kernel-default kernel-default

I need to keep those.
Is that 11.0? Currently you can't, support for keeping multiple
packages is not implemented yet in the solver. (It will be there
for the final 11.0, of course.)

Sorry,
Michael.
Yes, that's 11.0. Great to hear that it'll be implemented, it is a
long-standing critical feature for me (one of the reasons I need to use
yum so far).

Short of that, can I update selected packages? It doesn't seem to be
possible, but I'm probably missing something. For example, I'd like to
update the zypper package:

# zypper update -t package zypper
Too many arguments.
Usage:
[...]

zypper install -t package zypper

-t package is not needed here, it is the default.

Actually zypper update -t package foo*? has been implemented recetly,
too :O) check zypper 0.11.0

BTW: can we resolve the question of -t patch being the default for
update? (start new thread please).

Cheers,

jano
