There also two additional newer kernels ( 3.9.8-1.1.gf3348a8 and 3.10.0-1.1.g3dcd746) from deactivated kernel-stable repo installed ( output  of rpm -qa | grep kernel attached as file installed-kernels). I've attached a zypper testcase

Comment 2 Markus Koßmann 2013-07-07 19:24:45 UTC

unfortunately the testcase is 37MB and the limit for upload is 10MB. How can I provide the testcase ?

Comment 3 Michael Andres 2013-07-08 09:03:21 UTC

In case the testcase exceeds the 10MB limit for bugzilla uploads, you can use 'split' to divide the file into smaller pieces:

  $ cd /tmp
  $ tar cvjf zypper.solverTestCase.tar.bz2 /var/log/zypper.solverTestCase/
  $ split -b 9M --additional-suffix=-zypper.solverTestCase.tar.bz2 \
    zypper.solverTestCase.tar.bz2

The created pieces will be named like this:
  xaa-zypper.solverTestCase.tar.bz2
  xab-zypper.solverTestCase.tar.bz2
  xac-zypper.solverTestCase.tar.bz2
  ...

Michael, please have a look. kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.16.1.x86_64 is installed and available in openSUSE:12.3:Update.

Comment 9 Michael Schröder 2013-07-10 14:57:15 UTC

Oh well. It's a lobsolv bug. Fixed in current git, will reach 12.3 with the next maintenance update.
(It only happens if a multiversion package is available in repositories that have different priorities.)

Comment 10 Benjamin Brunner 2013-07-26 12:34:37 UTC

Update released for openSUSE 12.3. Resolved fixed.

Comment 11 Swamp Workflow Management 2013-07-26 13:07:17 UTC
