Regards,
Thanks for the answer. Upgrading to 15.2 is not possible at the moment for some of my machines. Solution 2 (rebuild rpm from version 15.2 for 15.1) does the trick. As Jiri sayd in his message, this is something unexpected. The kernel should be installable on the distro still supported. But apparently after more than three weeks, the solution has not been found yet. I'll probably wait another couple of weeks. If after that time this kernel problem is still there, I'll upgrade the rpm package.
I am not sure waiting will solve that :P.
I that case, I'll add immediately zstd support in my rpm package for 15.1 and the problem will be fixed for me.
The kernel was already fixed and in fact should be installable. Care to open a bug against kernel-firmware as suggested in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175882#c17 ? Maybe we will switch to older compression via prjconf, but it needs to be discussed (in bugzilla).
I fail to understand why some packages in Kernel:/stable should be fixed and others not. It is almost the same situation I encounter when I open a bug against some package in Leap and later the bug is closed with: fixed in tumbleweed. Cheers, Giacomo
Or simply do not install kernel-firmware (and other userspace packages) from the repo.
