FTR, comment 20 refers to this part of comment 15: > > $ /sbin/purge-kernels > > error: Failed dependencies: > > xen-kmp-default is needed by (installed) ineed-0.1-2.1.noarch > > /sbin/purge-kernels: giving up. > > This is expected because of the ineed -> xen-kmp-default -> > kernel-default-base- > 3.0.101-0.8.1.x86_64 dependency chain. I was wrong here - this was not expected. Rather than "giving up", purge-kernels should detect the situation and exit with success status. The end result (kernel and KMP not being uninstalled) would be the same.
