i have already double checked that this can occur with someone else machine
however in another tumbleweed, at least when i run `sudo zypper purge-kernels`
the results were different

The reason is that in another machine (TW again), i had different results with `sudo zypper purge-kernels` Expected: _/usr/lib/modules/_ should be cleaned up by the update scripts.
