    Description:


    This collective update for util-linux provides the
    following fixes and enhancements:

    *

    Improve lscpu(1) to display detailed information
    about available CPUs and implement support to change the
    CPU state (online/offline, standby/active, etc) in
    chcpu(8). (FATE#314085)

    *

    Fix time(1) to report memory usage as pages rather
    than KB. (bnc#798323)

    *

    Don't call readlink(2) on mount points when
    unmounting NFS volumes. This prevents hangs on umount(8)
    when the NFS server is unreachable. (bnc#794529)

    *

    Fix creation of partitions spanning across the entire
    disk (",,") in sfdisk(8). (bnc#808155)

    *

    Fix file conflicts between util-linux and s390-32 by
    adding the proper "Provides" and "Conflicts" to the package
    spec file. (bnc#805684)

    *

    Update default commit interval in mount(8) man page.
    (bnc#809480)
