  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 BCL 12-SP2

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

## Description:

This update for libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues:

  * Removing a PTF without enabled repos should always fail (bsc#1203248)
  * zypp.conf: Introduce 'download.connect_timeout' [60 sec.] (bsc#1208329)
  * Add expert (allow-*) options to all installer commands (bsc#428822)

  * Provide "removeptf" command (bsc#1203249) A remove command which prefers
    replacing dependant packages to removing them as well. A PTF is typically
    removed as soon as the fix it provides is applied to the latest official
    update of the dependant packages. But you don't want the dependant packages
    to be removed together with the PTF, which is what the remove command would
    do. The removeptf command however will aim to replace the dependant packages
    by their official update versions.
