At lwn.net [ thread https://lwn.net/Articles/593683/ - might be subscriber only ] someone suggests running this after the upgrade :
grep -l 'libssl.*deleted' /proc/*/maps | tr -cd 0-9\\n | xargs -r ps u (as root) On my current desktop machine that shows the following : root 2206 0.0 0.0 37016 1260 ? Ss Apr06 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd. root 2416 0.0 0.0 27736 512 ? Ss Apr06 0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master -w postfix 2418 0.0 0.0 27968 668 ?

Sl Apr06 1:37 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffic So in my desktop case I need to bounce cups and postfix, and also to close my current LO documents. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
