You won't get a prompt ever. Debian expects the admin to know what he is doing and act accordingly. You can install apt-listchanges to get an output of the most recent changelogs of a package and then decide for yourself if you need to reboot. Or you can install the needrestart package (from Jessie, should install cleanly on Wheezy) and get a notification that way. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault.
