The dependencies was pulled in by the second dependency run which don't
look on the kernel version by accident.

Does anna install them or only reports them as for installation? The
dependency resolver don't try to check the status and the check for
already installed packages should drop them from the final installation
list.
Maybe I should replace the text install with select to avoid confusion.
