When updating the kernel, if it has just been recompiled due to a dependency change, zypper removes old packages, but just some of them, not all. This requires further manual steps to clean up.
Example:
The following 4 NEW packages are going to be installed: kernel-default 4.7.2-2.2 kernel-default-devel 4.7.2-2.2 kernel-devel 4.7.2-2.2 kernel-syms 4.7.2-2.2
...
The following 2 packages are going to be REMOVED: kernel-default 4.7.2-2.1 kernel-default-devel 4.7.2-2.1
Is there a logical reason for this? Why not remove also kernel-devel-4.7.2-2.1 and kernel-syms-4.7.2-2.1 for the above example, if there are the newer packages installed?

Pressed sent by accident. Please look into /etc/zypp/zypp.conf the multiversion.kernels option. Mine is setup as: multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running And then make sure the service purge-kernels is enabled: systemctl status purge-kernels Old kernels are removed on boot IIRC, or by running /sbin/purge-kernels -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
