Warning: Installing package foo (which you selected for install)
requires that you reboot the system afterwards.
Details: New: Foo => [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Existing: baz => [EMAIL PROTECTED] (optional)
New: [EMAIL PROTECTED] requires a reboot.
What should I do?
You can install Foo (and reboot because of [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
you can continue without installing Foo (and thus not
rebooting) or you can cancel the install.

PS. I would hope we are doing everything we can to stomp out
all the "reboot needed" situations we can find, in the same way
(and for the same reasons) we stomp out kernel panics. Users
and admins DO NOT want to have to reboot their systems any more
than they absolutely have to; "never need to reboot" would be
a very powerful feature for us to aim for.
