This update for procps fixes the following issues: Update procps to 3.3.17 (jsc#PED-3244 jsc#PED-6369)

For support up to 2048 CPU as well (bsc#1185417)

Allow -´ as leading character to ignore possible errors on systctl entries (bsc#1209122) Get the first CPU summary correct (bsc#1121753) Enable pidof for SLE-15 as this is provided by sysvinit-tools Use a check on syscall NRpidfdopen to decide if the pwait tool and its manual page will be build Do not truncate output of w with option -n Prefer logind over utmp (jsc#PED-3144) Don't install translated man pages for non-installed binaries (uptime, kill).
