    From Grimble@2:250/1 to All on Sunday, July 28, 2024 11:56:15
    I've just seen a screen-full of messages from mgaapplet with the basic
    message
    "would install instead of upgrade package " followed by 9 versions of
    all sorts of kernel flavours, most of which are not installed on this
    machine.
    What's going on please?

    That's quite normal when you've run mgaapplet from a terminal such as konsole or gnome terminal.

    It's due to the way Mageia handles kernels, to allow more than one version to be kept installed at the same time. That list started out very small when Mageia
    9 was released, but will keep growing until Mageia 9 reaches end of support and everyone has to move on to Mageia 10.

    Ignore those messages.

    Regards, Dave Hodgins

    Thanks, Dave - just curious.
