Package: needrestart,how-can-i-help
Version: needrestart/0.5-1, how-can-i-help/5
needrestart uses a fullscreen progress bar (which IMHO is totally
overkill, but seemingly can't be turned off) which basically moves
everything how-can-i-help outputs off the terminal's view port
independent of the terminal's size.
This lowers the usefulness of how-can-i-help drastically because you
actively have to scroll up (or even use screen's scrollback mode as it's
the case here) to see the output of how-can-i-help).
Currently the last few entries of my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ looks like
this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Jul 25 2007 70debconf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 231 Jun 10 2012 99-localepurge
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 May 29 2012 99apt-dater-host_periodic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 Sep 12 2013 99how-can-i-help
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 361 Sep 14 2013 99needrestart
localepurge runs before needsrestart as run-parts seem to use C-locale
ordering.
I think 99how-can-i-help should run as last of these hooks as its
primary purpose is to catch the user's attention with its output.
99-localepurge only outputs a few lines, so it's only a minor issue if
it runs after how-can-i-help. Feel free to clone this bug report against
localepurge,how-can-i-help if think this is worth being fixed, too.
99apt-dater-host_periodic only sets APT::Periodic::* values.
Since there is no two-digit number after 99, I recommend to rename
99needrestart to maybe 97needrestart. Alternatively, but definitely less
preferable, 99how-can-i-help could be renamed to
99zz-how-can-i-help. (Doing both should cause any harm, either.)
