An update that has five fixes can now be installed.
## Description:
This update for kernel-livepatch-tools fixes the following issues:
Version 1.8:
* Drop different flavors support (bsc#1245949)
* Hardcode version 1.2 when building for older distributions than SL 16.0. The
existing livepatch packages require exactly this version. But new versions
are backward compatible.
* Use "transactional-update" for downgrading livepatch package on
transactional systems (bsc#1245346)
* Improve the description of the LIVEPATCH_KERNEL sysconfig variable
(bsc#1236642)
* Use dracut to regenerate initrd when "mkinitrd" can't be found (bsc#1234757)
* Remove week dependencies on SLE16+ to unify the behavior on SLES, SLES
Minimal, and SL Micro (bsc#1219966)
## Patch Instructions:
To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like
YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
