Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.5-8.1 Severity: normal
libc6 has a hardcoded list of processes (mostly servers) to restart in its postinst script. Some important services (in this case Dropbear ssh daemon) are not restarted, which can render a system unusable without a reboot. "dropbear" should be added to the list of services to restart, however a more generic mechanism might be more appropriate. Perhaps /var/lib/libc6/require-restart.d/ could be scanned, and packages requiring a restart after a libc6 upgrade could install their own files there to be executed? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
