   An update that has 10 recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update provides fixes and enhancements for yast2 and yast2-network.

   yast2:

   - Add-on module: Do not escape characters like ":" in the path string.
     (bsc#966413)
   - Added method to adapt old configuration of enslaved network interfaces.
     (bsc#962824)
   - Use canonical path in save_y2logs. (bsc#1001454)
   - Fix replacement of workflow modules. (bsc#1011869)
   - Add a method to read the ID property from the /etc/os-release file.
     (bsc#1016004)

   yast2-network:

   - When an interface is enslaved in a bond the udev rule is modified using
     the bus_id instead of the mac address but some multi-port cards could
     use the same bus_id. In such cases also the dev_port is needed. Taking
     this in account the dev_port will be added always when a udev rule based
     on bus_id is written. (bsc#1007172, bsc#1005721)
   - Bridge handling has been improved: (bsc#962824)
     - "NONE" is shown instead of 0.0.0.0 for old bridge configuration.
     - The bridge master is shown in the enslaved interface.
     - The interfaces overview is updated after a bridge is modified.
     - The interfaces enslaved are not lost when save in a different tab.
   - Do not crash with internal error stating undefined method when switching
     to "Hostname / DNS" tab when the system contains incorrect configuration
     of DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME. (bsc#1012581)
   - New implementation of setting hostname via DHCP. User is allowed to set
     hostname via particular interface or set a reasonable default value for
     all interfaces. (bsc#984890)
   - Fixed the assignment of udev rules to Lan Items when a previous one does
     not exist. (bsc#996879)
