Do you have knowledge of actual need for any of what kernel-default-extra or

As I mentioned, later versions are already installed, as per yast software management. I never selected those extra packages, they were just part of the install.

If you know you do, or do not know, try from Konsole:

	zypper ref && zypper up

# zypper ref && zypper up
