So I guess either rpm got interrupted or the kernel-desktop postinstall script failed. Nevertheless, it's the correct behavior of 'zypper ve' to delete the old version. So we have: - zypper should report the version number of the packages it wants to remove - zypper dup should also remove the old version I don't know what you mean by 'yast does not complain', it'll probably also complain if you turn on "System Verification Mode" in the Options menu. (You may have to select "Check Now" from the Dependencies Menu afterwards. Poor coding.) About zypper dup: it doesn't repair the system, thus it will not remove the old version if it still sees the identical package in one of the repos. I don't know if this is the case here. -- 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.

I don't know what you mean by 'yast does not complain', ...
I am using yast2 (qt) sw_single, selecting check dependencies from the menu (dependencies/check now) returns "All package dependencies are OK." In addition I think zypper does, in other cases of dependency conflicts, offer three options, usually, 1. keep the old situation, 2. accept the new situation dropping xyz, 3. break the dependencies. Why does it not let the user decide in this case ? -- 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.

Programmer <casualprogrammer@opensuse.org> 2011-03-21 11:22:02 UTC --- Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it ? man zypper states: " verify (ve) [options] Check whether dependencies of installed packages are satisfied. In case that any dependency problems are found, zypper suggests packages to install or remove to fix them." Having multiple kernels isn't exactly a "dependency conflict", seems to me a classical case of "it's not a bug, it's a feature".

2. zypper does not specify which kernel it wants to remove
In order to fix these dependencies, the following actions need to be taken: Continue? [y/n/?] (y):
The '?' shows further options: y - Yes, accept the summary and proceed with installation/removal of packages. n - No, cancel the operation. v - Toggle display of package versions. a - Toggle display of package architectures. r - Toggle display of repositories from which the packages will be installed. m - Toggle display of package vendor names. d - Toggle between showing all details and as few details as possible. g - View the summary in pager. 'v' or 'd' will show the version.
3. zypper does not complain on dup only on ve
There's no need for dup to complain if it does not cause immediate trouble, and the next update of kernel-desktop will remove the 2 old versions anyway (unless marked as "multiversion" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf). 've' is expected to raise all issues immediately, and this is what it does. The 2nd kernel is here by accident, so it gets removed. If you intentionally keep multiple versions, you should enter it in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. -- 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.
