   installed.

Description:

   This update for kdump fixes the following issues:

   - Install /etc/resolv.conf using its resolved path (bsc#1183070).
   - Avoid an endless loop when resolving a hostname fails with EAI_AGAIN
     (bsc#1183070).
   - Skip kdump-related mounts if there is no /proc/vmcore (bsc#1102252,
     bsc#1125011).
   - Make sure that kdump mount points are cleaned up (bsc#1102252,
     bsc#1125011).
   - powerpc: Do not reload on CPU hot removal (bsc#1133407).
   - Do not iterate past end of string (bsc#1186037).
   - Make sure that initrd.target.wants directory exists (bsc#1172670).
   - Fix incorrect exit code checking after "local" with assignment
     (bsc#1184616).
   - Add 'bootdev=' to dracut command line (bsc#1182309).
   - Query systemd network.service to find out if wicked is used
     (bsc#1182309).
   - Do not add network-related dracut options if ip= is set explicitly
     (bsc#1182309, bsc#1188090).
   - Make sure that the udev runtime directory exists (bsc#1164713).
   - Prefer by-path and device-mapper aliases over kernel names (bsc#1101149).
   - Activate udev rules late during boot (bsc#1154837).
