[...] 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.
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).
But kernel-syms is not fixed actually: $ rpm -qp kernel-syms-5.8.10-2.1.gaf3e800.x86_64.rpm -R kernel-default-devel = 5.8.10-2.gaf3e800 kernel-devel = 5.8.10-2.gaf3e800 pesign-obs-integration rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsZstd) <= 5.4.18-1 One should not normally need/install this package, but it should be fixed as the other kernel related packages. FWIW, I just added this to the ticket.
Or simply do not install kernel-firmware (and other userspace packages) from the repo.
Yep, that's what I do now.
thanks, -- js
