- bsc#947494: mount -a would fail to recognize btrfs already mounted, address loop re-use in libmount
- bsc#966891: Conflict in meaning of losetup -L. This switch in SLE12 SP1 and SP2 continues to carry the meaning of --logical-blocksize instead of upstream --nooverlap
- bsc#994399: Package would trigger conflicts with sysvinit-tools
- bsc#983164: mount uid= and gid= would reject valid non UID/GID values
- bsc#978993: cfdisk would mangle some text output
