   An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:

   This update provides Machinery 1.18.0, which brings the following fixes
   and enhancements:

   - Make the machinery-helper exclusive to improve inspection performance
     significantly on all supported architectures.
   - Fix treatment of the rpm '(replaced)' flag (gh#SUSE/machinery#1897)
   - Fix repository recognition on older Debian systems
   - Inspection of unmanaged-files is now also using the faster
     machinery-helper when a remote user is used
   - Show all available information for unmanaged files in HTML view
     (gh#SUSE/machinery#1905)
   - Move the machinery documentation from man page to HTML format
   - Implement "--extract-metadata" option for the unmanaged-files inspection
     to retrieve the file meta (e.g. owner, group, size) data without
     extracting the files.
   - Fixed counting of files in unmanaged directories (empty directories now
     report zero files as one would expect)
   - Fix reset button in HTML view (gh#SUSE/machinery#1899)
   - Align config-files scope in HTML view (gh#SUSE/machinery#1814)
   - Allow closing file dialog (in WebUI) by pressing ESC
   - Support inspection of Ubuntu 14.04 systems
   - New '--ssh-identity-file' option to specify a SSH private key when
     inspecting a remote system
   - New '--ssh-port' option to specify an SSH port when inspecting a remote
     system
