Hi,
I am attempting to remove old kernels from my system but "dnf erase
<kernel-package>" wants to remove much more than just that kernel package. I
wrote a bug at
bugzilla.redhat.com but have gotten nowhere. This is the bug URL: 1761024 –
removing old kernels wants to remove more than kernel packages
1761024 – removing old kernels wants to remove more than kernel packages
I want to keep the oldest kernel and remove the "newer" kernels. I don't
want to just use "rpm --nodeps -e". That has gotten me into trouble in the past.
I think that confuses dnf and then things just go downhill from there. rpm -Va --nofiles
--nodigest starts producing error messages about dependencies missing.
Here's a partial list of packages that dnf wants to remove:
