   An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for kernel-livepatch-tools fixes the following issue:

   - Introduce a controlled live patch deployment to solve an issue with the
     transactional server role (bsc#1187780)
     - The deployment mode is defined in '/etc/sysconfig/livepatching'. The
       valid settings are 'always', 'never' and 'auto' with 'auto' as
       default. This change will preserve the immutability of the system in
       the transactional server role that skips the patch loading in
       transactional updates.
