In my system I have enabled the multiversion for kernel-desktop so I have just uninstalled kernel 3.1.10-1.13.1 since I have seen it was removed from the Update repo.

yesterday i updated (using YaST Online Update) my (mult-iversion enabled) *11.4* system's kernel from 2.6.37.6-0.11.1 to 2.6.37.6-0.20.1 (including the corresponding kernel-devel, kernel-desktop-devel and kernel-source) and (having not removed any previous 11.4 kernels) i see that today /usr/src/~linux points to the new linux-2.6.37.6-0.20, as i would expect..

And this is something I expect to happen.

or maybe you used YaST Software Management, zypper, rpm, a one-click button somewhere, or a software.opensuse.org "direct install" button to update (while i used YOU)??

I used "zypper rm -u kernel-desktop-3.1.10-1.13.1 kernel-desktop-devel-3.1.10-1.13.1 kernel-devel-3.1.10-1.13.1 kernel-source-3.1.10-1.13.1" to remove the packages; I have not performed an update, just removed one of the two installed kernels.

Hi all, it seems I am not able to explain the problem I faced... 2012/6/29 Freigeist :

With the multiversion kernel feature configured correctly in zypp.conf it isn't necessary to install/remove kernels manually. The system then does this automatically and will, of course, take care of all links.

It works for installing new versions (and removing automatically the too old versions that do not more satisfy conditions to be kept), but as explained (I hope sufficiently) in the initial mail, the problem is not when I install/update a kernel, but when I remove a kernel that is the last installed one, that is the one with the highest version number, and that has been removed from the Update repository since it was buggy (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=764864). So, when removing manually (using zypper, not directly rpm), it does not take care correctly of all links, since the /usr/src/linux link is broken.

To activate this feature the following two lines must be present and uncommented in /etc/zypp.conf:

I already know how to activate multiversion, since I had *two* kernels installed. Best, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
