There's now a PR for this upstream:
https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/285
People suffering from this issue are encouraged to test this and report
back upstream (or here, if you can't upstream).
I tested it and it doesn't work. It only *seemed* to work because the
author tested with -v, which *does* work around the issue.
I found the issue, and sent this PR upstream to fix it:
https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/288
Patch attached, people are again encouraged to test and report back.
I also attach upstream commit v3.6-9-ge85bfe3 which also seem necessary
to fix firmware checks on my end...
It doesn't *quite* fix it just yet. For platforms where the ucode is
*not* provided (e.g. in my case it's the pcengines APU that don't have
firmware upgrades), this *still* yields a UNKNOWN warning. After a brief
discussion in the issue tracker, I decided to submit *another* PR as
such:
https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/290
... and I think we should ship this in Debian as well.
I also think we should make a stable update for this. This affects a
bunch of machines on our end and we need this fixed in bookworm.
So I'll file a bug with the release team and prepare a stable
update.
Patrick: objections?
A.
I will upload this patch now with 3.6-7. I am fine with a stable update
and would welcome it if you could do it in this case (I am a bit busy
these weeks)
Thanks!
