...

2-the problem is further compounded by zypper installing multiple kernels (e.g. both default and pae) (I cooked, then ate, dinner, then filed this bug, all while zipper was installing the two latest default and pae kernels.)

Felix, we will need a solver testcase to check why this happened. Can you try to reproduce it (but don't install, just try to get both kernels in the install summary)? Once you can reproduce it, run the same zypper command again, with the --debug-solver option added. -- 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.

Anticipating an inability to reproduce, I ran 'zypper dup --debug-solver' first, output of which is attached, in case it might be of some use. First try to repro on same machine I did by first looking for a newer kernel on gwdg.de, and not finding one, doing rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts on the 27.5-2 pae & default kernels, then zypper ref, then zypper dup. Only the 27.5-3-pae kernel got installed. I have another machine now updating and others I can afterward, so will report if I can repro the Summary problem. -- 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.
