Error: Transaction test error:
  installing package kernel-core-5.14.0-503.21.1.0.1.el9_5.x86_64 needs 39MB more space on the /boot filesystem
  installing package kernel-uek-core-5.15.0-304.171.4.el9uek.x86_64 needs 81MB more space on the /boot filesystem

Error Summary
-------------
Disk Requirements:
   At least 81MB more space needed on the /boot filesystem.

searching on internet I saw that for fedora/redHat/centOS the common solution is decrease the number of installed kernel from 3 to 2 for clean space. I tried the command package-cleanup but:

[root@yyyy xxxx]# package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2
package-cleanup has to be executed with one of the options: --dupes, --leaves, --orphans, --problems or --cleandupes
[root@yyyy xxxx]# 

so, --oldkernels don't is accepted by the package-cleanup on oracle linux.

How can I resolve? Which is the best practice?

FYI… the stack trace shows this method as the one responsible for the exception, but not sure how it is trying to determine the local offset.

Oracle.DataAccess.Types.TimeStamp.GetLocalTZOffset()

1 - 1
