Package: needrestart Version: 3.4-5 Severity: minor Hello,
I'm getting the message "Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades." on vmware virtualized machines. Looking on the code, there is a check for $is_vm, but it only tries to use systemd-detect-virt, which isn't available on my system because I don't use systemd. libimvirt-perl would provide a convenient way to not depend on systemd at all. Here, it's installed automatically, because I use apt-dater, and apt-dater-host relies on libimvirt-perl. I suggest to use the code provided in /usr/bin/apt-dater-host if systemd-detect-virt can't be found. This is most likely the most easy solution. Of course, package-dependencies need to be updated also. Note: Systemd is *not* mandatory. Even for Debian 10 most "server" packages behave fine with SysVinit. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-14-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages needrestart depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-16 ii dpkg 1.19.7 ii gettext-base 0.19.8.1-9 ii libintl-perl 1.26-2 ii libmodule-find-perl 0.13-1 ii libmodule-scandeps-perl 1.27-1 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.56-1 ii libsort-naturally-perl 1.03-2 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.38-1 ii perl 5.28.1-6+deb10u1 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1 Versions of packages needrestart recommends: ii sysvinit-core 2.93-8 Versions of packages needrestart suggests: pn iucode-tool <none> pn needrestart-session | libnotify-bin <none> -- no debconf information
