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

Description:


   This update provides KIWI v5.05.93, which brings fixes and enhancements:

   - Don't strip curl alternative binaries from initrd: The last update of
     curl in SLE11 introduced /usr/bin/curl as a symbolic link. The real
     binary is /usr/bin/curl.openssl0 or /usr/bin/curl.openssl1. This needs
     to be taken into account when striping down the initrd by kiwi.
     (bsc#1004654)

   - Add missing failsafe entry to elilo.conf: For SLE11 EFI support the
     elilo wrapper is used, in order to allow elilo to create a grub.cfg with
     a failsafe entry the elilo template config must provide an image section
     for it. (bsc#993792)

   - bootImage: Don't copy initial ram disk content to /run/initramfs: We
     should avoid copying the initial ram disk content to a tmpfs filesystem,
     especially
     on low memory systems. (bsc#963276)

   - Prefer switch_root over pivot_root. (bsc#963276)

   - Fixed partition table label for ec2 images: If firmware="ec2" is
     requested kiwi implicitly set the partition table label to GPT. This
     leads to a failing boot in EC2.

   - Prefer packages by priority of repositories, not by architectures.
     (bsc#926651)
