An update that has 12 fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for systemd fixes the following issues:

  • terminal-util: stop doing 0/upper bound check in tty_is_vc() (bsc#1255326)
  • core/dbus-manager: propagate meaningful dbus errors from EnqueueMarkedJobs
  • Name libsystemd-{shared,core} based on the major version of systemd and the package release number (bsc#1228081, bsc#1256427)
  • systemd-update-helper: clean up the flags immediately after they have been consumed.
  • systemd.spec: don't reexecute PID1 on transactional updates.
  • Drop most of the workarounds contained in the fixlets.
  • Drop %filetriggers build flag. It was introduced to ease backport of Base:System to SLE distros where file-triggers were unreliable but that is no longer the case on the latest SLE distros.
  • Fix: systemd Tainted: unmerged-bin (bsc#1228728, bsc#1251981)
  • timer: rebase last_trigger timestamp if needed
  • timer: rebase the next elapse timestamp only if timer didn't already run
  • main: switch explicitly to tty1 on soft-reboot (bsc#1231986)
  • terminal-util: modernize vtnr_from_tty() a bit
  • units: don't force the loading of the loop and dm_mod modules in systemd-repart.service (bsc#1248356)
  • systemd.spec: use %sysusers_generate_pre so that some systemd users are already available in %pre (bsc#1248501)
  • core/cgroup: Properly handle aborting a pending freeze operation
  • detect-virt: add bare-metal support for GCE (bsc#1244449)
  • uki.conf is used by the ukify tool to create an Unified Kernel Image[...]
  • Make sure that the ordering trick used to update the udev package as close as as possible to the update of the systemd package also works with zypper.
  • Fix: Snapshot 20240730 - unbootable after transactional-update dup (bsc#1228659)
    • We also need to add "Suggests: udev", which serves the same purpose as "OrderWithRequires: udev" but is part of the repository metadata. It should therefore hint zypper to install systemd and udev as close together as possible
  • Fix systemd-network recommending libidn2-devel (bsc#1234765)
