Steve Baker 19ecc16d97 Revert "Use rpm -e instead of dnf for cleaning old kernels" Using rpm -e to remove old kernels fails when other packages also depend on the removed kernel. This change reverts back to using dnf to remove the kernel, but also sets the config value protect_running_kernel=False to avoid the issue where the build host kernel version matches the version of the package being deleted. reverts commit `1ac31afd62`.

=============
redhat-common
=============
Image installation steps common to RHEL, CentOS, Fedora and openEuler.

Requirements:

If used to build an image form a cloud image compress with xz
(the default in centos), this element uses "unxz" to decompress
the image. Depending on your distro you may need to install either
the xz or xz-utils package.

Environment Variables
---------------------

DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE
  :Required: No
  :Default: None
  :Description: Use the local path of a qcow2 cloud image. This is useful in
   that you can use a customized or previously built cloud image from
   diskimage-builder as input. The cloud image does not have to have been built
   by diskimage-builder. It should be a full disk image, not just a filesystem
   image.
  :Example: ``DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-guest-image-7.1-20150224.0.x86_64.qcow2``

DIB_DISABLE_KERNEL_CLEANUP
  :Required: No
  :Default: 0
  :Description: Specify if kernel needs to be cleaned up or not. When set to
   true, the bits that cleanup old kernels will not be executed.
  :Example: DIB_DISABLE_KERNEL_CLEANUP=1
