   An update that has 8 recommended fixes can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for python-kiwi provides the following fixes:

   - Change the default value for bundler compression. If no compression is
     configured in the kiwi config file the default was set to False. However
     this led to big trouble on the OBS side for images which have fixed
     storage disk sizes configured (for example Azure images which request
     30G disk size per instance). The default has changed to be True.

   - Support alternative EFI and grub modules paths. In SUSE products EFI
     binaries are historically located in /usr/lib*/efi. In a recent move to
     package grub2 as noarch, a collision between x86_64 and aarch64 has been
     identified as both packages place platform-specific files in the same
     location. To fix this, a new location was devised:
     /usr/share/efi/$(uname -m). At the same time /usr/lib/grub2 will move to
     /usr/share/grub2. (fate#326960)

   - Fix Xen guest detection. Xen setup (e.g in the Amazon Cloud) is only
     supported for the x86_64 architecture. (bsc#1123186, bsc#1123185)

   - Fix the location of grub unicode font file. grub2 is expecting the
     unicode font under the fonts directory in the /boot/grub*/ depending on
     how the distribution installs grub2. (bsc#1119416)

   - Add Codec utils for bytes literals decoding. In case of a literal
     decoding failure it tries to decode the result in utf-8. This is handy
     in python2 environments where python and the host might be using
     different charset configurations. In python3 this issue seems to be
     solved. (bsc#1110871)

   - Fixed URI handling with token query option. So far only the query format
     "?credentials=" was supported. In case of "?random_token_data" the
     returned uri was truncated and also the format check on the query caused
     a python trace. (bsc#1110869, bsc#1108508)

   - Fix disk size calculation for VMX. Disk size calculation must take into
     account the empty volumes that are to be mounted in a directory that
     does not exist in the root tree
     otherwise there is KeyError. The result of
      storate/setup._calculate_volume_mbytes must be a dictionary including
      all defined volumes.

   - Fixes an issue where the resize of a disk didn't work if the system is
     multipath based (bsc#1126283)
