That other bug is a new feature request for removing old kernels. [In fact, such a script - very thorough, it looks - was recently offered on the French forum; I will note on that bug].

Which does not negate Barry's complaint here. An old problem.

Assigning to the MageiaTools people.

Still valid in Cauldron today.
Comment 4 Morgan Leijström 2023-11-27 11:58:21 CET 
Still valid mga9 today

Both drakrpm and urpme uninstall a running kernel without complaining.

Testing a dkms-anbox update candidate which had added conflict to 6.6 kernels, the urpmi command uninstalled all 6.6 kernels including the running one.
