Package: needrestart
Version: 3.4-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you for the needrestart package. This is a very useful tool.
I have been trying to get notifications to work on my KDE desktop
environment. So far, I have not had any success.
My expectation is that it should work out of the box for a general user
but that doesn't seem to be the case. I was a bit surprised to see that
there's not much bug reported about this issue on the tracker.
Either, there's something wrong in my setup or else people haven't used
this amazing tool more commonly.
Looking at what needrestart invokes, if I try to run the same commands
from my login environment, it is working.
Before I dive more deep I thought of checking here.
```
rrs@priyasi:~$ MSGTITLE=$(gettext 'Relogin or restarts required!')

rrs@priyasi:~$ MSGBODY=$(gettext 'Your session is running obsolete binaries or
libraries as listed below.
> <i><b>Please consider a relogin or restart of the affected
> processes!</b></i>')'\n'
