Any time needrestart is run it complains about xfce4-session running obsolete binaries or libraries.
-------------------------------------------------- root@ideapc:~# needrestart Scanning processes... Scanning candidates... Scanning processor microcode... Scanning linux images... Running kernel seems to be up-to-date. Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades. No services need to be restarted. No containers need to be restarted. User sessions running outdated binaries: charles @ session #2: xfce4-session[2280] root@ideapc:~# -------------------------------------------------- Recently a new Linux kernel came down the pipeline, so I rebooted. That should flush out all obsolete binaries or libraries, but I still get the message. Further, I get it on three different AMD-64 machines, all running Debian 11 as updated. The Debian web site reports that the current version of xfce4-session should be 4.16.0-1, and indeed that is what I have. Is there any way to check the dependencies of xfce4-session short of writing a script to parse the dependencies reported by "apt show xfce4-session"? This is more obnoxious than a show stopper, so I don't want to put a lot of effort into it. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
