Why do I get conflicts with “fw_common.sw.security_fixes(Freeware security fix checks)”?
The conflict message which you receive is an intentional indication inserted into the fw_common package to inform you that there is some known security vulnerability in a Freeware package. It is up to you to decide whether this vulnerability is an actual problem in your situation (i.e. your particular system configuration may or may not be vulnerable). If you decide that the vulnerability in the package is something you can accept, you should elect to not install fw_common.sw.security_fixes. If you decide that the vulnerability in the package is something that cannot stay on the system, you should elect to remove the package. Installation of fw_common.sw.security_fixes does not actually fix any security vulnerabilities (despite its name). Instead, this is an empty package which exists solely to generate this type of conflict message as a warning that there is a known issue with the indicated package.
