Description:

This update for libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues:

  • Fix evaluation of libproxy results (bsc#1247690)
  • Replace URL variables inside mirrorlist/metalink files
  • Append RepoInfo::path() to the mirror URLs in Preloader (bsc#1247054)
  • During installation indicate the backend being used (bsc#1246038) If some package actually needs to know, it should test for ZYPP_CLASSIC_RPMTRANS being set in the environment. Otherwise the transaction is driven by librpm.
  • Workaround 'rpm -vv' leaving scriptlets /var/tmp (bsc#1218459)
  • Verbose log libproxy results if PX_DEBUG=1 is set.
  • BuildRequires: cmake >= 3.17.
  • Allow explicit request to probe an added repo's URL (bsc#1246466)
  • Fix tests with -DISABLE_MEDIABACKEND_TESTS=1
  • Add runtime check for a broken rpm-4.18.0 --runpostrans (bsc#1246149)
  • Add regression test for (bsc#1245220) and some other filesize related tests.
  • Fix addrepo to handle explicit --check and --no-check requests (bsc#1246466)
  • Accept "show" as alias for "info" (bsc#1245985)
