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

Description:


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

   *

   An update job in the SMT JobQueue which requires a
   reboot returns with an error. This was desinged like this
   intentionally 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.
