This is likely caused by the Perl transition, BTW.
Unlikely, given the original reporter seems to be using stable. I can reproduce the exact same error by uncommenting line 97 in /etc/needrestart/conf.d of needrestart_1.2-8+deb8u1, as it has a missing semicolon (see #805755). # Disable hints on pending kernel upgrades. #$nrconf{kernelhints} = 0 No idea what would have uncommented that if the administrator didn't, though. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
