<p>An update that has four recommended fixes can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for libzypp, zypper fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Removing a PTF without enabled repos should always fail (bsc#1203248)</li>
<li>zypp.conf: Introduce 'download.connect_timeout' [60 sec.] (bsc#1208329)</li>
<li>
<p>Add expert (allow-*) options to all installer commands (bsc#428822)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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.</p>

</ul>
