An update that solves one vulnerability and has 15 fixes is now available.

Description:

This update for libsolv, libzypp, yast2-installation, zypper fixes the following issues:
Update zypper to version 1.14.43:

  • doc: give more details about creating versioned package locks (bsc#1181622)
  • man: Document synonymously used patch categories (bsc#1179847)
  • Fix source-download commnds help (bsc#1180663)
  • man: Recommend to use the --non-interactive global option rather than the command option -y (bsc#1179816)
  • Extend apt packagemap (fixes #366)
  • --quiet: Fix install summary to write nothing if there's nothing todo (bsc#1180077)
  • Prefer /run over /var/run.

Update libzypp to 17.25.8:
  • Try to provide a mounted /proc in --root installs (bsc#1181328) Some systemd tools require /proc to be mounted and fail if it's not there.
  • Enable release packages to request a releaxed suse/opensuse vendorcheck in dup when migrating. (bsc#1182629)
  • Patch: Identify well-known category names (bsc#1179847) This allows to use the RH and SUSE patch categrory names synonymously: (recommended = bugfix) and (optional = feature = enhancement).
  • Fix %posttrans script execution (fixes #265) The scripts are execuable. No need to call them through 'sh -c'.
  • Commit: Fix rpmdb compat symlink in case rpm got removed.
  • Repo: Allow multiple baseurls specified on one line (fixes #285)
  • Regex: Fix memory leak and undefined behavior.
  • Add rpm buildrequires for test suite (fixes #279)
  • Use rpmdb2solv new -D switch to tell the location ob the rpmdatabase to use.
  • BuildRequires: libsolv-devel >= 0.7.17.
  • CVE-2017-9271: Fixed information leak in the log file (bsc#1050625 bsc#1177583)
  • RepoManager: Force refresh if repo url has changed (bsc#1174016)
  • RepoManager: Carefully tidy up the caches. Remove non-directory entries. (bsc#1178966)
  • RepoInfo: ignore legacy type= in a .repo file and let RepoManager probe (bsc#1177427).
  • RpmDb: If no database exists use the _dbpath configured in rpm. Still makes sure a compat symlink at /var/lib/rpm exists in case the configures _dbpath is elsewhere. (bsc#1178910)
  • Fixed update of gpg keys with elongated expire date (bsc#1179222)
  • needreboot: remove udev from the list (bsc#1179083)
  • Fix lsof monitoring (bsc#1179909)
  • Rephrase solver problem descriptions (jsc#SLE-8482)
  • Adapt to changed gpg2/libgpgme behavior (bsc#1180721)
  • Multicurl backend breaks with with unknown filesize (fixes #277)

Update yast2-installation to 4.0.77:
  • Do not cleanup the libzypp cache when the system has low memory, incomplete cache confuses libzypp later (bsc#1179415)

Update libsolv to 0.7.17:
  • repo_write: fix handling of nested flexarray
  • improve choicerule generation a bit more to cover more cases
  • harden testcase parser against repos being added too late
  • support python-3.10
  • check %_dbpath macro in rpmdb code
  • handle default/visible/langonly attributes in comps parser
  • support multiple collections in updateinfo parser
  • add '-D' option in rpmdb2solv to set the dbpath
