Description Tomáš Bajer 2023-03-14 21:36:15 UTC

Description of problem:
dnf5 doesn't replace the oldest installed non-running kernel with a newer one during upgrade 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# dnf5 --version
dnf5 version 5.0.6
dnf5 plugin API version 1.0
libdnf5 version 5.0.6
libdnf5 plugin API version 1.0


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 3 kernels installed, the oldest one is the running one
# rpm -q kernel
kernel-6.2.0-63.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.2.2-300.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.2.5-300.fc38.x86_64

# uname -r
6.2.0-63.fc38.x86_64

2. # dnf5 upgrade kernel
3.

Actual results:
Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: The operation would result in removing of running kernel: kernel-core-0:6.2.0-63.fc38.x86_64

Expected results:
Same as microdnf in Fedora 37 would produce - replacing the oldest non-running installed kernel for a newer version:
# rpm -q kernel
kernel-6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64
kernel-6.1.15-200.fc37.x86_64
kernel-6.1.16-200.fc37.x86_64

# uname -r
6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64

# microdnf upgrade kernel
