   An update that has 6 recommended fixes can now be
   installed. It includes two new package versions.

Description:


   SMT and the SMT client have been enhanced with these new
   features:

   An update job in the SMT JobQueue which requires a reboot
   returns with an  error. This was intentionally designed
   like that to draw attention to this  job. But even if a
   following child job is a reboot job it will never be
   executed.

   To make this situation more comfortable the SMT admin now
   can decide what  return values of a JobQueue job should be
   interpreted as success and thus  should not block a job
   chain. Further it is possible to let an update job  reboot
   the machine if required.

   Please see the manpage for the new reboot policy.

   Additionally SMT now requires the openssl-certs package to
   get the up to  date CA certificates list used for Novell
   registration and update servers.
