Thank you yet again for identifying what I failed to see. Martin Wilck's
16.0.43-508.1 had been installed, but I removed it /along with/ suse-modules-tools
using rpm --nodeps and followed it up by only installing OSS's 16.0.43-1.1
suse-module-tools prior to the zypper dup that found no corresponding need for the
absent suse-module-tools-scriptlets, followed by kernel longterm installation
attempt. :p
