  * bsc#1249435
  * bsc#1257068

  
Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Micro 6.1

  
  
An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for libzypp fixes the following issues:

libzypp was updated to 17.38.2.

  * Prepare a legacy /etc/zypp/zypp.conf to be installed on old distros. See the
    ZYPP.CONF(5) man page for details.
  * Fix runtime check for broken rpm --runposttrans (bsc#1257068)
  * Avoid libcurl-mini4 when building as it does not support ftp protocol.
  * Translation: updated .pot file.
  * zypp.conf: follow the UAPI configuration file specification (PED-14658) In
    short terms it means we will no longer ship an /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, but
    store our own defaults in /usr/etc/zypp/zypp.conf. The systems administrator
    may choose to keep a full copy in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf ignoring our config
    file settings completely, or - the preferred way - to overwrite specific
    settings via /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.d/*.conf overlay files. See the
    ZYPP.CONF(5) man page for details.
  * cmake: correctly detect rpm6 (fixes #689)
  * Use 'zypp.tmp' as temp directory component to ease setting up SELinux
    policies (bsc#1249435)
  * zyppng: Update Provider to current MediaCurl2 download approach, drop
    Metalink ( fixes #682 )
