Description:

The Software Update Stack was updated to receive fixes and enhancements.

libsolv:

  • Many fixes and improvements for cleandeps.
  • Always create dup rules for "distupgrade" jobs.
  • Use recommends also for ordering packages.
  • Fix splitprovides handling with addalreadyrecommended turned off. (bsc#1059065)
  • Expose solver_get_recommendations() in bindings.
  • Fix bug in solver_prune_to_highest_prio_per_name resulting in bad output from solver_get_recommendations().
  • Support 'without' and 'unless' dependencies.
  • Use same heuristic as upstream to determine source RPMs.
  • Fix memory leak in bindings.
  • Add pool_best_solvables() function.
  • Fix 64bit integer parsing from RPM headers.
  • Enable bzip2 and xz/lzma compression support.
  • Enable complex/rich dependencies on distributions with RPM 4.13+.

libzypp:

  • Fix media handling in presence of a repo path prefix. (bsc#1062561)
  • Fix RepoProvideFile ignoring a repo path prefix. (bsc#1062561)
  • Remove unused legacy notify-message script. (bsc#1058783)
  • Support multiple product licenses in repomd. (fate#322276)
  • Propagate 'rpm --import' errors. (bsc#1057188)
  • Fix typos in zypp.conf.

zypper:

  • Locale: Fix possible segmentation fault. (bsc#1064999)
  • Add summary hint if product is better updated by a different command. This is mainly used by rolling distributions like openSUSE Tumbleweed to remind their users to use 'zypper dup' to update (not zypper up or patch). (bsc#1061384)
  • Unify '(add|modify)(repo|service)' property related arguments.
  • Fixed 'add' commands supporting to set only a subset of properties.
  • Introduced '-f/-F' as preferred short option for --[no-]refresh in all four commands. (bsc#661410, bsc#1053671)
  • Fix missing package names in installation report. (bsc#1058695)
  • Differ between unsupported and packages with unknown support status. (bsc#1057634)
  • Return error code '107' if an RPM's %post configuration script fails, but only if ZYPPER_ON_CODE12_RETURN_107=1 is set in the environment. (bsc#1047233)
