Description:

This update for libzypp and libsolv fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

Fixed bugs and enhancements:

  • make cleandeps jobs on patterns work (bnc#1137977)
  • Fixed an issue where libsolv failed to build against swig 4.0 by updating the version to 0.7.5 (bsc#1135749).
  • Virtualization host upgrade from SLES-15 to SLES-15-SP1 finished with wrong product name shown up (bsc#1131823).
  • Copy pattern categories from the rpm that defines the pattern (fate#323785).
  • Enhance scanning /sys for modaliases (bsc#1130161).
  • Prevent SEGV if the application sets an empty TextLocale (bsc#1127026).
  • Handle libgpgme error when gpg key is not completely read and user hits CTRL + C (bsc#1127220).
  • Added a hint when registration codes have expired (bsc#965786).
  • Adds a better handling of an error when verifying any repository medium (bsc#1065022).
  • Will now only write type field when probing (bsc#1114908).
  • Fixes an issue where zypper has showed the info message 'Installation aborted by user' while the installation was aborted by wicked (bsc#978193).
  • Suppresses reporting /memfd: pseudo files (bsc#1123843).
  • Fixes an issue where zypper was not able to install or uninstall packages when rpm is unavailable (bsc#1122471).
  • Fixes an issue where locks were ignored (bsc#1113296).
  • Simplify complex locks so zypper can display them (bsc#1112911).
  • zypper will now set SYSTEMD_OFFLINE=1 during chrooted commits (bsc#1118758).
  • no-recommends: Nevertheless consider resolver namespaces (hardware, language,..supporting packages) (fate#325513).
  • Removes world-readable bit from /var/log/zypp (bsc#1099019).
  • Does no longer fail service-refresh on a empty repoindex.xml (bsc#1116840).
  • Fixes soname due to libsolv ABI changes (bsc#1115341).
  • Add infrastructure to flag specific packages to trigger a reboot needed hint (fate#326451).

This update for zypper 1.14.27 fixes the following issues:

  • bash-completion: add package completion for addlock (bsc#1047962)

  • bash-completion: fix incorrect detection of command names (bsc#1049826)

  • Offer to change the 'runSearchPackages' config option at the prompt (bsc#1119373, FATE#325599)

  • Prompt: provide a 'yes/no/always/never' prompt.
  • Prompt: support "#NUM" as answer to select the NUMth option...
  • Augeas: enable writing back changed option values (to ~/.zypper.conf)
  • removelocale: fix segfault
  • Move needs-restarting command to subpackage (fixes #254)
  • Allow empty string as argument (bsc#1125415)

  • Stay with legacy behavior and return ZYPPER_EXIT_INF_REBOOT_NEEDED only for patches. We don't extend this return code to packages, although they may also carry the 'reboot-needed' attribute. The preferred way to test whether the system needs to be rebooted is zypper needs-rebooting. (openSUSE/zypper#237)
  • Skip repository on error (bsc#1123967)
