Yes, that I read, that's what I believed. That's what you did wrong. That's what got you out of sync with the RPM database. That's not the way to 'uninstall' things.
Maybe we should take this discussion private so as not to burden the list. I do not understand the significance of staying in sync with the RPM database. And where does this database live? I was trying to address a problem I ended up having trying do add later version kernels. I plan research this further on my own. Nobody has explained why deleting the old kernel files should cause the problems I experienced. The laptop hardware appears to have a lot of problems. There are only two USB ports with an additional pair of USB C ports. Adding standard USB devices through a USB to USB C adapter does not appear to be reliable. The only reason I wanted the later kernel is that the Nouveau list responded that my kernel was not late enough to support the hardware. I will put this problem on hold until I get other aspects of the system working.
