Hello.
How to find kernel* for version 24.81
How to find kernel* for version 24.100
Then delete kernel* for version 24.81

sudo zypper se -si 'kernel-default=24.100'
sudo zypper se -si 'kernel-default=24.81'
sudo zypper se -si 'kernel-default=5.14.21-150400.24.81'
sudo zypper se -si 'kernel-default=5.14.21-150400.24.100'

return nothing.

That is the result for Tumbleweed:
(Will fire up Leap for test in some minutes…)

Same for Leap 15.5. It seems you need to find first all installed kernels via “kernel-default”. After that you are able to make your search more granular

So that means, this kernel is not installed and not available in any Leap 15.5 repo.
This is a Leap 15.4 kernel…so under Leap 15.5 it is normal that your search for this kernel don’t show a result as long as you don’t have the old Leap 15.4 repos added again…

I can only imagine that it is related to your experiments with bash and environment variables. Maybe something is screwed up…

Here in Leap 15.5 with installed kernels (-i):

You must use kernel-default-VERSION not kernel-default=VERSION

Sauerland · February 17, 2024, 5:37pm

Oop, = does also match:

Yep, there is only one small difference between the output when used = or - (if you don’t use --match-exact):
