severity 743889 normal thanks Hi,
> We have code that checks some of the applications that need to be > restarted, but it has a static list of packages to check and it's > outdated. We're working on improving that list and providing an > other update that will restart those services. I do not believe this is a grave bug in openssl. Debian has never claimed that 100% automatic upgrades are fully supported. Tools like checkrestart and needrestart exist for this reason; and the advisories from both Debian and CERT-CC explicitly mention the need to restart services. That some packages have lists of services to restart is an extra bonus, but since not all libraries have such functionality and there may be first or third party applications on the system, such a service is never a guarantee and the list can never be complete. Therefore, manual action and/or use of tools like checkrestart is always necessary. I'm leaving it at normal, not wishlist, because indeed if the package the package contains such functonality, it should aim to indeed have at least the most important ones in there. In the long term however, I have more faith in a solution where a high level package manager would check such things by default, instead of each individual package.
