mgaapplet

[Grimble]

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.

Thanks, Dave - just curious.
