Public bug reported: This patch bypasses the custom restarting logic backed into the postinst script if the needrestart utility is present, as it allows sharing the logic with the rest of the system.
It also changes the custom logic to compare the old package version to the current one instead of a hard-coded value. I don't feel particularly strongly about this, so feel free to drop it :) ** Affects: pam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935972/+attachment/5510736/+files/debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935972 Title: postinst: Rely on needrestart when present on the system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1935972/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
