Kernel doesn't affect the package database, it matters only the number of packages, and possibly "holes" in the database, which is what worries me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)

This command does not modify Packages.

Are you running the current *55.52.1 kernel? Are you mostly a zypper user, mostly yast user, or mostly mixed, for package management? I rarely use yast for software except during OS installations.
Kernel doesn't affect the package database, it matters only the number of packages, and possibly "holes" in the database, which is what worries me.
It shouldn't, but bugs can make logs very noisy. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

Sounds like you have all the texlive-* including their -*-doc packages. I need texlive, but not the docs, so I've locked them (after removing, obviously): $ zypper al 'texlive-*-doc' Have a nice day, Berny

I do, actually, because of LyX
