An update that has two fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for cronie provides the following fixes:
- Prefer flock locking instead of fcntl locking that has different semantics. It caused a bug where it was possible to run more than one cron process as the locking was not successful. (bsc#1017160)
- Check the existence of the user at the time the job is run and do not ignore jobs for users that were not existing at database reload. This prevents cron from ignoring jobs in user crontab for users that changed group meanwhile. (bsc#1077979)
