Dominique, I don't know if this is relevant in any way to this problem I don't think 'related' but 'tangential interessting' might describe it.
but several days ago kernel-default-4.4.4-1.3 became available (I use the kernel from ../Kernel:/stable/standard ) but the strange part was that zypper would not upgrade all the associated files with this version of the kernel. Let me explain. Unfortunately, you miss one very interesting information for me: is this also the kernel-default i586 package?
No, I now only have 64-bit machines. While I run only the stock standard openSUSE 13.2 I do use the kernels from ../stable/standard. (BTW, my signature line contains the details about my system but then not everyone is able to see signature lines :-( .)
IF so, then I'm surprised and shocked that this works - the latest version has been built with binutils 2.26 as well; in fact I'd expect kernel:Stable/kernel-default i586 to expose the same issue
If of course you run x86_64, then this is clear why this problem does not appear to bite you.
As for the update problem you saw: no idea - the provided info would not let me create any assumption what might have been wrong.
Yes, "know the feeling". This happened again a day or so again with YaST2, but not zypper, being able to upgrade the kernel with all the 4 files; but no big deal because now that I am aware that this is now a natural behaviour for oS (oS 13.2 at least) I simply use YaST2 to upgrade the kernel.
Cheers, Dominique
OK, already, you are making me break a habit of many years and will therefore now add a salutation to the end of my posts :-) .
