  A possible workflow seems to be:

  • we'd protect all packages owning files below /lib/modules/uname -r in order not to remove KMPs of the running kernel.

  • we try take care that for each installed kernel at least one KMP stays installed, so the KMP's requirements in to a kernel are satisfied by this kernel.

  • the remaining KMPs are purged unless the user has locked them.

  Independent from that of course all packages vanish which require a removed kernel (as before).

Use one asterisk to *emphasize*

Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**

  It looks like weak-modules-2 could be enhanced to communicate unneeded KMPs. From our POV this would be the ideal solution. The KMP management knows what to remove. zypp knows how to remove. (bsc#1232399#c26; but no public access)

  Discussions finally led to a refined version of the initially proposed workflow. We should be able to cleanup superfluous KMPs by looking at the KMP and kernel dependencies only. The additional KMP purging will become available as a new CLI option to zypper purge-kernels (WIP) and will resolve bugs like bsc#1232399.
