## Description:

This update for libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

  * invalidating legacy libzypp unsigned-repository cache state [LIBZYPP-LEGACY-
    CACHE-01] (bsc#1274625).
  * hasCredentials() requires both username AND password to be non-empty
    (bsc#1273242).
  * GPG Key hints in repoindex.xml require at least a long id to allow auto-
    import (bsc#1271730).

Non security issues fixed:

  * Econf parser adds tags in drop-in files outside any section to [main]
    (bsc#1272534).
  * libzypp: X-ZYpp-AnonymousId header anomaly (bsc#1268321).
  * Need zypper option to disable services to fix Dockerfile builds in OBS
    (bsc#1257249).
  * zypper loads repository data and installed packages prior to checking for
    required arguments (bsc#1274091).
  * Zypper patch doesn't give enough details about conflicts (bsc#1277790).
  * dependency issue for package "python3-vsts-cd-manager" after starting the
    upgrade (bsc#1261038).

Changes for libzypp:

  * Update to version 17.38.15:

  * Prevent libgpgme from launching gpg-agents; we don't need them.

  * defaultLoadSystem: Hand out the ZYpp::Ptr as return value.
  * Replace popen cat/zcat with solv_xfopen for testcase loaders (fixes #749)
  * zypp: Improve Testcase Loading for MCP Tools.
  * spec: Remove useless %bcond visibility_hidden (is always ON in cmake)
  * zypp.conf: add solver.NoUpdateProvide (default: false) option.

Changes for zypper:

  * Update to version 1.14.101.
