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

Description:

   This update for sysvinit fixes the following issues:

   - Update showconsole to 1.16 to fix sysvinit service shutdown messages
     missing from                                  | /var/log/boot.omsg.
     (bsc#1087176)
   - Add -w option to last and lastb. (fate#317971)
   - Use O_RDWR instead of O_WRONLY when opening /dev/tty. Otherwise, after
     dup2(fd, 0);, a process cannot read from stdin. (bsc#863518)
   - Make it possible for sulogin to find a suitable console device even if
     the first one is not usable. (bsc#862078)
   - Change showconsole to use newest /proc/tty/consoles API.
   - Use /proc/tty/consoles if ioctl TIOCGDEV does not exist.
   - Make pseudo terminal raw as it does not show anything.
   - Handle more than two console devices.
   - Speed up used pts/tty pair by enabling raw mode.
   - Implement termios locking scheme but disable it as it may interfere with
     sulogin and
     others using the old console.
   - Enable full raw mode for pty/tty pairs of startpar.
