Problem Description:

This update fixes several issues regarding the live upgrade to a more
recent distribution, notably:
- new distributions are now only presented after all updates were
applied.
- if current distribution is no more supported, we will warn about
it and offer to upgrade to a newer release
- makes the new config tool backported from 2010.0 to work on 2009.0
too (due to older drakxtools API)
- update the authentication scheme for MES5

It also fix a couple crashes:
- a rare crash (bug #55346)
- gracefully handle (rare) server issues (bugs #51299 & #51548)

Now passwords with special caracters are properly managed.
For security, we now access api.mandriva.com through the https
protocol.
The applet now offer to configure a couple settings.
It has now more efficient system power usage.

Update:

Packages for MES5 was not provided earlier, this update addresses
the problem.
