Attachments: All kernels removed on Mageia 8

Description Jose Manuel López 2021-12-09 17:32:28 CET 
Description of problem: Today, I have remove 113 packages of old kernels on Mageia 8 Plasma installation, that been updated from Mageia 7.  I remove 3,7 GB space disk with this. 

I think that we sould have a friendly proccess for the user can remove these old kernels of Mageia.

Exist the command "urpme --auto-orphans", but I don't think that this be a friendly proccess for a any user of Mageia, that don't be a advance user with terminal.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Old Kernels in Mageia


How reproducible: Check old kernels from rpmdrake.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to rpmdrake, and check old kernels.
2.Appears a lot of old kernels if the Mageia have been update from Mageia 7.
3.Uninstall all old kernels for free space disk.
