Hi,
while upgrading my kernel to 2.6.39-rc6 (thanks, that will hopefully fix bnc#687998 for me), I found that zypper did not want to update kernel-syms et al due to missing kernel-xen-devel.
I then selected "break kernel-syms by ignoring some deps" and "remove kernel-xen-devel".
I know that I'll probably never need kernel-xen-devel (because I have perfectly fine Hardware, capable of KVM, there is no need to have a XEN kernel running on it), so it would be nice to save the download bandwidth and disk space of all those unnecessary kernel-*-devel by making them "recommended" instead of "required" IMHO.
kernel-syms is a metapackage that requires the default set of kernel-$flavor-devel packages. If you only want a subset, do not install kernel-syms :). Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
