Cause

Running a robot version older than version 7.92 on Suse linux 12 SP2 servers

Older versions of robot are not compatible with this release

Resolution

Robot 7.92 or higher is required to work correctly on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64) SP2 

Please contact support via support ticket to get the installers if required for this version

If running older version of robot on this platform please uninstall the older robot version and install version 7.92 of robot.

Additional Information

There is currently no 7.92GA release - this hotfix was developed before release, and rather than releasing 7.92GA we have chosen to release this hotfix. 
The next robot_update release which contains these fixes will be 7.95.
