<p>An update that has two fixes can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for python-kiwi fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed ramdisk sysroot generator (bsc#1254116)
Do not use a custom _dev name and stick with the UUID representation
of the disk image in RAM after deployment. Former versions of udev
did not create a by-uuid device representation which now seems to
have changed. This then leads to the device name RamDisk_rootfs
not being created the and respective .device unit times out.
In addition the timer unit for the standard device representation changed to infinity.</li>
<li>Delete workflows conflicting with upstream</li>
<li>Fixed spec file requires (bsc#1253637)
The package requirement for binutils was set to TW (equal or greater than 1650)
only but is also required for SLES16/Leap16 which is 1600
This commit fixes the condition to match with all required distributions</li>
</ul>
