   An update that has 9 recommended fixes can now be installed.

Description:


   This update provides KIWI v7.02.104, which brings several fixes and
   enhancements:

   - Fixed bootloader configuration: Custom kernel parameters should be added
     to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and not GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. (bsc#994910)

   - Now waitForStorageDevice method has set a timeout of 4 seconds instead
     of 60 if the device is a usb. GetDeviceTransportType method has been
     added in order to determine device type (usb, sata, etc.). (bsc#992992)

   - Preserve timestamp on grub2-install copy: In order to workaround the bug
     in shim-install which unnecessarily calls grub2-install we replace the
     binary by a noop before calling shim-install. However all file
     attributes of the grub2-install binary, timestamp, modes, etc should
     stay untouched. (bsc#993825)

   - Fixed setupNetworkWicked: IP address information from wicked dhcp reply
     consists
     out of two parts but we are only interested in the plain IPv4 address
      information at this point. (bsc#992989)

   - Make sure DHCPCHADDR is uppercase. (bsc#992988)

   - Fixed setup of container configuration: An empty fstab file is created,
     the former deletion of a potentially existing fstab failed if no such
     file existed. (bsc#991218)

   - Remove null padding on the vmware disk tag: The block of data read via
     dd is null padded; adding the tools data after the padding breaks
     detection of the data. We need to remove the nulls (0x0) so appends can
     occur adjacent to the block of strings. Also adding the encoding
     statement to vmware disk tag only if not present (bsc#988087)

   - Fixed createOVFConfiguration: Make sure destination directory exists
     prior to moving data. (bsc#986602)

   - Protect systemd-detect-virt from being deleted in the kiwi initrd.
     (bsc#992875)
