    An update that has 6 recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:


    This update provides KIWI v7.03.104, which brings several fixes and
    enhancements:

    - Fix ip setup in setupNic: The invocation of ip in setupNic was invalid.
    The way this was done causes the netmask to be set as broadcast address.
    Also, fix lease request in wicked call. (bsc#1003091)

    - Fix for using ext4 in read/write mode for SLE-11 images built on a
    SLE-12 build host. (bsc#1008269)

    - Fixed mountSystemClicFS for older distributions: On SLE-11 the ext4
    filesystem support is available in read only mode by default. In order
    to allow read/write access the filesystem parameters need to be adapted.

    - Fixed typo in comments: clicfs container is an ext4, not ext3.

    - UpdateOtherDeviceFstab method was erroneously overwriting the variable
    $1 with the value of $2, which is always empty. (bsc#1007765)

    - Fixed waitForStorageDevice: Value for storage_size was not really used.
    (bsc#1000742)

    - Put setupNetworkWicked in line with former dhcpcd: The way
    setupNetworkWicked implements the dhcp discovery was incomplete.
    (bsc#1003091)

    - Fix assembling of mdraid array: When udev discovers an mdraid array it
    partially starts the array. That is interfering with the mdadm
    --assemble call by kiwi which leads to a busy state and an array in
    inactive state. Therefore the method should wait until the raid array
    really exists no matter if the assembling is started by udev or kiwi's
    mdadm call. In addition, if the array got assembled but is incomplete
    because devices are missing or the timeout is fired, an additional call
    to start any array that has been partially assembled is required.
    pxeRaidAssemble will throw an exception if after this call no md device
    with a size greater than 0 will show up after a timeout. (bsc#1000742)

    - Fix waitForStorageDevice: The function will return success if the size
    of the storage device can be obtained and is greater than zero. The pure
    success on reading from the block layer is not enough. In order to
    actually work with the device it must provide a size greater than 0.
    (bsc#1000742)

    - Fix creation of etc/crypttab: The method setupCryptTab creates
    etc/crypttab from the given storage device. However in a raid setup the
    correct /dev/mdX device needs to be used and not one of the storage
    devices in the raid array. (bsc#1003595)

    - Fix broken console when displaying dialogs: HideSplash method used to
    hide the splash
    only if there was an active console, however the dialogs appear broken
    if the splash isn't hidden and in some cases is hard to check if there
    is an active consoles (i.e. after umount /sys or mount --move /dev
    /mnt/dev). (bsc#997085)
