Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5

  
  
An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for python-kiwi fixes the following issues:

  * Fixed Live ISO image (bsc#1213595): Make sure to wait for the event queue to
    become empty after the creation of the write partition. When kiwi calls the
    code to create the write partition this emits new udev events. It's
    important to wait for the event queue to become empty to avoid a potential
    regression on the use of the device nodes. In the processing of the events
    it can happen that a device gets removed and re-added. If we don't want for
    udev to process the entire queue it can happen that the wrong block device
    is used. This wrong selection is only possible because the way how hybrid
    ISOs are designed exposes both, the disk and the partition for the root
    device with the same label.

  * Set the default output console to gfxterm for grub (bsc#1219074): If no
    console setting is done in the image description for grub the default output
    console is set to: gfxterm and the default input console is set to: console.

  * Use rsync defaults to sync the initrd root-tree (bsc#1207128, bsc#1221915)
    This fix makes use of rsync default options to sync the root-tree of the
    boot image for custom initrds.
