Hi all,

it seems I am not able to explain the problem I faced...

It works for installing new versions (and removing automatically the
too old versions that do not more satisfy conditions to be kept), but
as explained (I hope sufficiently) in the initial mail, the problem is
not when I install/update a kernel, but when I remove a kernel that is
the last installed one, that is the one with the highest version
number, and that has been removed from the Update repository since it
was buggy (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=764864).
So, when removing manually (using zypper, not directly rpm), it does
not take care correctly of all links, since the /usr/src/linux link is
broken.

I already know how to activate multiversion, since I had *two* kernels
installed.

Best,
Andrea
