    Hello SuSE people,

    Running 9.2 -2.6 kernel. Last night I did a YOU update. It bumped me up
    to the .11 version of the kernel from the .10 version.

    Tonight I went to do an apt-get update/upgrade. I received a message:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      kernel-default-nongpl#2.6.8-24.10: Depends: kernel-default (=
    2.6.8-24.10) but 2.6.8-24.11 is installed.

    So I did a uname -r That showed the 2.6--.11 kernel.

    So then I did an rpm -qa. That showed that I had one version of
    kernel-default and one version of kernel-sourcres (.11 version) and two
    versions of kernel-source-nongpl. the .10. and the .11 versions.

    So then I went in and looked
    at /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/deltas & /rpms (the deltas
    are what the patches are, right?) figuring I would just delete the
    old .10 versions and be on my merry way.

    Wrong, to my surprise I found two versions, .5 (which I surmise is the
    original kernel from the install), and .10. No .11 !! Now I am
    really confused.

    Where did YOU put .11 ?? And when it installs the kernel-default does
    it also install both of the sources? And if it does, why doesn't it
    overwrite/delete the old packages ??

    Sooo, how do I rpm -e the kernel-source-nongpl .10 package when there
    are two versions with the same name? Can I delete the old .5 & .10
    rpm's and hope that the .11 packages are somewhere?? And, do I even
    need the kernel-source-nongpl file ?

    Bob S.

    PS Did an rpm rebuilddb just to be sure.
