The -base variant does not come with disk drivers to boot. that pull in -base kernels on update, which is dangerous in that it can lead to non-booting systems apart from the confusion of the user.

What conflicts here? Could be a problem with the dependencies of another package stating that it wants one exact kernel version... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Removing base-3.16.6-2.1 brings in desktop-3.16.6-2.1 and removing that desktop brings back base, even when using -u in zypper rm. Finally I found that removing the kernel modules for virtualbox belonging to 3.16.6-2.1 resolved the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
