    <p>An update that has five fixes can now be installed.</p>

    


    
        <h2>Description:</h2>
    
    <p>This update for kernel-livepatch-tools fixes the following issues:</p>
<p>Version 1.8:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Drop different flavors support (bsc#1245949)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>Use "transactional-update" for downgrading livepatch package
  on transactional systems (bsc#1245346)</li>
<li>Improve the description of the LIVEPATCH_KERNEL sysconfig variable
  (bsc#1236642)</li>
<li>Use dracut to regenerate initrd when "mkinitrd" can&#x27;t be
  found (bsc#1234757)</li>
<li>Remove week dependencies on SLE16+ to unify the behavior on
  SLES, SLES Minimal, and SL Micro (bsc#1219966)</li>
</ul>
