Description Don Hughes 2013-06-03 17:33:58 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20130518 Firefox/20.0 PaleMoon/20.1

As part of a recent upgrade to 12.3 the default for zypp.conf / multiversion.kerneles seems to have been changed.  As a consequence, all of my 12.3 systems have multiple kernels installed.  However, yast2 Software Management only shows a single entry under Package Versions.  This leads to some confusing conflict error messages complaining about conflicts with versions that do not list as being installed.  It also caused me to needlessly re-install a kernel several times since the display seemed to indicated that the install had failed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use yast2 to upgrade the kernel.
2. check the kernel Package Versions.
3. do a RPM -qa and notice that additional kernels are installed over what is displayed by yst2 
Actual Results:  
Multiple kernels installed, but only one is listed

Expected Results:  
Multiple kernels installed and all listed.
