For example I have:

This is not what the user wants! Seen on three different machines. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run online update, replacing the current kernel 2. Reboot Actual Results: Old kernel(s) are still installed Expected Results: Old kernel should be removed (at least after the next successful boot) -- 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.
