$ rpm -q --scripts kernel-core-7.0.9-205.fc44.x86_64
[snip]
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
entry_type=""
/bin/kernel-install --help|grep -q -- '--entry-type=' &&
entry_type="--entry-type type1"
/bin/kernel-install remove 7.0.9-205.fc44.x86_64 $entry_type || exit 0
if [ -x /usr/bin/weak-modules ]
then
/usr/bin/weak-modules --remove-kernel 7.0.9-205.fc44.x86_64 || exit 0
fi
