  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Legacy Software 12
    		•

    An update that has 12 recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:


    The Korn Shell (ksh) was downgraded from 93v to 93u, as version 93v is not
    as stable as version 93u. This is inline with the purpose of the Legacy
    Module, which is to provide a compatibility layer for customers who need
    more time to migrate from SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 to 12.

    The updated package has its version set to 93vu to ensure the software
    update stack (RPM, zypper) will see it as a regular update. Users who
    want to stay with version 93v can prevent the update with 'zypper addlock
    ksh'.
