[BESAdmin-Announcements] IBM BigFix releases audit Fixlets for troubleshooting SUSE 11 and 12 patching

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM BigFix Patch is pleased to announce the release of audit Fixlets to 
help system administrators and support in troubleshooting patch issues 
that are related to missing prerequisites. These 
audit Fixlets indicate whether any of the required utility packages, such 
as zypper, gzip, or bc, are missing and must be installed on the endpoints
 to deploy BigFix content. 

These compression utilities are necessary to use the content from the 
Patches for SLE 11 Native Tools and Patches for SLE 12 Native Tools sites. 
Ensuring that the required compression utilities are installed on the 
endpoints even before deploying Fixlets can save users time from 
troubleshooting patching issues.

New Fixlets:
TROUBLESHOOTING: Package 'zypper' not installed (ID #1)
TROUBLESHOOTING: Package 'gzip' not installed (ID #2)
TROUBLESHOOTING: Package 'bc' not installed (ID #3)


Published Site Version:
Patches for SLE 11 Native Tools site, version 113
Patches for SLE 12 Native Tools site, version 55

Actions to Take:
Gathering of the sites will automatically show the updates.
