Fixed bugs and enhancements :

- make cleandeps jobs on patterns work (bnc#1137977)

- Fixed an issue where libsolv failed to build against swig 4.0 by updating the version to 0.7.5 (bsc#1135749).

- Virtualization host upgrade from SLES-15 to SLES-15-SP1 finished with wrong product name shown up (bsc#1131823).

- Copy pattern categories from the rpm that defines the pattern (fate#323785).

- Enhance scanning /sys for modaliases (bsc#1130161).

- Prevent SEGV if the application sets an empty TextLocale (bsc#1127026).

- Handle libgpgme error when gpg key is not completely read and user hits CTRL + C (bsc#1127220).

- Added a hint when registration codes have expired (bsc#965786).

- Adds a better handling of an error when verifying any repository medium (bsc#1065022).

- Will now only write type field when probing (bsc#1114908).

- Fixes an issue where zypper has showed the info message 'Installation aborted by user' while the installation was aborted by wicked (bsc#978193).

- Suppresses reporting `/memfd:` pseudo files (bsc#1123843).

- Fixes an issue where zypper was not able to install or uninstall packages when rpm is unavailable (bsc#1122471).

- Fixes an issue where locks were ignored (bsc#1113296).

- Simplify complex locks so zypper can display them (bsc#1112911).

- Does no longer fail service-refresh on a empty repoindex.xml (bsc#1116840).

- Fixes soname due to libsolv ABI changes (bsc#1115341).

- Add infrastructure to flag specific packages to trigger a reboot needed hint (fate#326451).

This update for zypper 1.14.27 fixes the following issues :

- bash-completion: add package completion for addlock (bsc#1047962)

- bash-completion: fix incorrect detection of command names (bsc#1049826)

- Offer to change the 'runSearchPackages' config option at the prompt (bsc#1119373, FATE#325599)

- Prompt: provide a 'yes/no/always/never' prompt.

- Prompt: support '#NUM' as answer to select the NUMth option...

- Augeas: enable writing back changed option values (to ~/.zypper.conf)

- removelocale: fix segfault

- Move needs-restarting command to subpackage (fixes #254)

- Allow empty string as argument (bsc#1125415)

- Show only required info in the summary in quiet mode (bsc#993025)

- Stay with legacy behavior and return ZYPPER_EXIT_INF_REBOOT_NEEDED only for patches. We don't extend this return code to packages, although they may also carry the 'reboot-needed' attribute. The preferred way to test whether the system needs to be rebooted is `zypper needs-rebooting`. (openSUSE/zypper#237)

- Skip repository on error (bsc#1123967)

- New commands for locale management: locales addlocale removelocale Inspect and manipulate the systems `requested locales`, aka. the languages software packages should try support by installing translations, dictionaries and tools, as far as they are available.
