http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184399 Bug ID: 1184399 Summary: purge-kernels.service might conflict with other background services using zypper as well Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: marius.kittler@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I observed the following problem on a Leap 15.2 system (used as openQA worker): ``` martchus@openqaworker3:/srv/salt> sudo systemctl status purge-kernels.service purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2021-03-15 06:51:54 CET; 1 day 4h ago Main PID: 1166 (code=exited, status=7) Mar 15 06:51:36 openqaworker3 systemd[1]: Starting Purge old kernels... Mar 15 06:51:54 openqaworker3 zypper[1166]: System management is locked by the application with pid 1286 (zypper). Mar 15 06:51:54 openqaworker3 zypper[1166]: Close this application before trying again. Mar 15 06:51:54 openqaworker3 systemd[1]: purge-kernels.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=7/NOTRUNNING Mar 15 06:51:54 openqaworker3 systemd[1]: Failed to start Purge old kernels. Mar 15 06:51:54 openqaworker3 systemd[1]: purge-kernels.service: Unit entered failed state. Mar 15 06:51:54 openqaworker3 systemd[1]: purge-kernels.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. ``` Maybe this can be improved, e.g. by adding a retry? Unfortunately I don't know what the conflicting process was because I only found out about the problem when it had already terminated.
