Description

Future kernel updates will support Kernel Module Packages (KMPs). This patch contains an update to the package manager, which is required so that kernel updates will preserve KMPs.
The update includes a number of fixes to make the kernel-update-tool work with online_update (a non-interactive updater).
Due to a wrong check for a return value, YaST Online Update may fall into an endless loop, calling inst_suseconfig.ycp all over again. This patch fixes the issue.

Installation notes

This update is provided as an RPM package that can easily be installed onto a running system by using this command:
