Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 24.04:
The conf /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf contains:
# Restart mode: (l)ist only, (i)nteractive or (a)utomatically.
#
# ATTENTION: If needrestart is configured to run in interactive mode but is run
# non-interactive (i.e. unattended-upgrades) it will fallback to list only mode.
#
#$nrconf{restart} = 'i';
Whether that variable is left at default (commented out) or defined with 'l' or
'i', services are still restarted.
This config variable conflicts with the new behavior in [1].
To reproduce: set "$nrconf{restart} = 'l'" run 'apt reinstall
libssl3t64' on servers with Nginx, Redis, etc.
Not sure if this setting should be respected, changed, or removed.
