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

Description:

   This update for cronie provides the following fixes:

   - Prefer flock locking instead of fcntl locking that has different
     semantics. It caused a bug where it was possible to run more than one
     cron process as the locking was not successful. (bsc#1017160)
   - Check the existence of the user at the time the job is run and do not
     ignore jobs for users that were not existing at database reload. This
     prevents cron from ignoring jobs in user crontab for users that changed
     group meanwhile. (bsc#1077979)
