I always used the Kernel:stable repository on Leap 15.2 and now Leap 15.3. But updating this Kernels stopped with kernel-default-5.13.4-3.1.g91a0cca.x86_64, because requirements of newer Kernels are not met. # zypper in kernel-default-5.13.12 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: the to be installed kernel-default-5.13.12-6.1.gd66b4c0.x86_64 conflicts with 'filesystem < 16' provided by the installed filesystem-15.0-11.3.2.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install kernel-default-5.13.12-6.1.gd66b4c0.x86_64 Choose the above solution using '1' or cancel using 'c' [1/c/d/?] (c): # rpm -q filesystem filesystem-15.0-11.3.2.x86_64 This is the ChangeLog message for kernel-default-5.13.12-6.1.gd66b4c0.x86_64: * Mo Aug 09 2021 ludwig.nussel@suse.de - Fix filesystem requirement and suse-release requires Reduce filesystem conflict to anything less than 16 to allow pulling the change into the next major stable version. Don't require suse-release as that's not technically required. Conflict with a too old one instead. - commit 913f755 "Next major stable version" means waiting for Leap 15.4? Greetings, Björn
