Description Andreas Prittwitz 2011-09-18 20:34:32 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2

I have the kernel sources and the kernel-devel package installed and I am using the multiversion kernel feature in zypp.conf.

The multiversion.kernels line in zypp.conf is

"multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,latest-2,running"

because I want to keep the newest kernel and the last two working ones.

The purge-kernels script is working fine as it removes old kernels as configured in zypp.conf during the next reboot following a new kernel install... except for two packages:

The kernel-source and the kernel-devel package are left on disk.
These two packages still have to be removed manually via Yast2 or zypper.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure the purge-kernels script in zypp.conf to tell the script how many kernels it should keep (for testing purposes one kernel should be sufficient)
2. install kernel sources
3. install a new kernel with sources when a new kernel is offered in the repo
4. reboot after the installation of the new kernel
5. during reboot the purge-kernels script removes the old kernel but not the corresponding kernel-source and kernel-devel packages
Actual Results:  
old kernel-source and kernel-devel packages are left on disk instead of being removed and have to be removed manually using yast2 or zypper.

Expected Results:  
old kernel-source and kernel-devel packages will be removed together with their corresponding kernel package. No manual removal necessary.

Happens on 32 bit and 64 bit systems alike.
