   2018-11: Two bugfixes in kea-admin

Kea uses log4cplus (http://sourceforge.net/projects/log4cplus/) for logging,
Boost (http://www.boost.org/) library for almost everything, and can use Botan
(http://botan.randombit.net/) or OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/) for
cryptographic operations. It can also optionally use PostgreSQL
(http://www.postgresql.org/) and/or MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) and/or
Cassandra (http://cassandra.apache.org/) as a database.
Sysrepo (http://www.sysrepo.org/) and libyang (https://github.com/CESNET/libyang)
required when netconf is used as configuration backend.

Kea can use googletest for unit-tests (https://github.com/google/googletest).

Kea uses ISC Forge (https://github.com/isc-projects/forge/) for conformance testing.
