https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826781 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826781#c0 Summary: multiple versions of kernel packages are left installed after updating the kernel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 After updating the kernel, obsolete kernel packages (including sources) are not removed, possible visible in the boot menu. For example I have:
rpm -qa kernel\* kernel-syms-3.7.10-1.11.1.i586 kernel-source-3.7.10-1.11.1.noarch kernel-desktop-devel-3.7.10-1.16.1.i686 kernel-devel-3.7.10-1.11.1.noarch kernel-syms-3.7.10-1.16.1.i586 kernel-docs-3.7.10-1.16.1.noarch kernel-default-devel-3.7.10-1.11.1.i586 kernel-default-3.7.10-1.16.1.i586 kernel-pae-devel-3.7.10-1.16.1.i686 kernel-xen-devel-3.7.10-1.11.1.i686 kernel-firmware-20130114git-1.2.1.noarch kernel-devel-3.7.10-1.16.1.noarch kernel-default-devel-3.7.10-1.16.1.i586 kernel-desktop-devel-3.7.10-1.11.1.i686 kernel-xen-devel-3.7.10-1.16.1.i686 kernel-default-3.7.10-1.11.1.i586 kernel-pae-devel-3.7.10-1.11.1.i686 kernel-source-3.7.10-1.16.1.noarch
This is not what the user wants! Seen on three different machines. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run online update, replacing the current kernel 2. Reboot Actual Results: Old kernel(s) are still installed Expected Results: Old kernel should be removed (at least after the next successful boot) -- 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.

Of all packages only two should be installed per flavour (so 2 kernel-desktop, 2 of each kernel-*-devel etc.) so it looks ok now. If you want just the current one installed, you will need to adjust 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.
