Description kolA flash 2018-08-11 10:33:14 UTC

virtualbox-host-kmp-default still depends on the outdated openSUSE 15.0 kernel 4.12.14-lp150.12.7-default.


When uninstalling kernel-default-4.12.14-lp150.12.7 zypper says this.
(deny the installation of kernel-default-base and keep virtualbox installed)

zypper> al kernel-default-base virtualbox
Specified locks have been successfully added.

This bug and its duplicates seem to arise when a new kernel is released to Update before the VirtualBox package has been rebuilt, which causes a transient error.

If there is a way to change the VB spec file to prevent this from happening, I do not know how to do that.

Note that locking packages may cause even greater problems in the future. Giving OBS time to complete the build process seems a better choice.

For what it is worth, when I updated Leap 15.0 today at about 20:00 UTC, both the kernel and the VB modules were updated. My VM's work without difficulty.

The reporter may check the kernel modules re-built with the updated rpm toolset, available in:
