Why would you? I love this multiversion thing, because now I can update my kernel, but the system can run on. I do so with my 20+ SLES11 at work, and there is no problem to reboot them when they are not needed so urgently, like "next weekend". With SLES9, the new kernel replaced the old, and you should reboot the system soon after patching.
I like the multiversion feature as well. Is it just that there is a difference between what zypper is trying to tell me and what it is actually saying. Your description is based on information you have outside what zypper reported. Perhaps zypper should explicitly list RPMs that will be kept because of multiversioning.
I have done the update and all is well.
Yes, I do not use only zypper, I use rpm as well. And sometimes YaST, but that's when some updates become hairy, like when a new KDE version is out, and some package is not available with the new version number. When you think that zypper should give more or other info, try <https://features.opensuse.org/> or open a bug. You need a login, but at least developers know that something is missing, and maybe it becomes realized :-) Regards, Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
