Package: apt Severity: wishlist Hi,
When library packages are upgraded, services using those libraries need to be restarted for the change to take effect. A default Debian installation does nothing to inform the user about that. Some packages have implemented their own service restarting check in postinst, all done differently and as in the case of OpenSSL based on an ever incomplete list. The recent security issue in the latter has again proven the importance of such functionality. checkrestart exists to handle this case, but it's not installed by default, nor is it run automatically when it is. It makes sense to me that such a task is handled by a high level package manager. Having such functionality in the package manager would definitely improve the security of a Debian system. Is this something you'd consider? Cheers, Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
