So I guess either rpm got interrupted or the kernel-desktop postinstall script failed. Nevertheless, it's the correct behavior of 'zypper ve' to delete the old version. So we have: - zypper should report the version number of the packages it wants to remove - zypper dup should also remove the old version I don't know what you mean by 'yast does not complain', it'll probably also complain if you turn on "System Verification Mode" in the Options menu. (You may have to select "Check Now" from the Dependencies Menu afterwards. Poor coding.) About zypper dup: it doesn't repair the system, thus it will not remove the old version if it still sees the identical package in one of the repos. I don't know if this is the case here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
