--- Begin Message ---Package: libpcre3 Version: 1:8.31-4 Severity: wishlist Hello and thanks for maintaining libpcre3. I noticed that /sbin/init (from package sysvinit-core) links with this library: $ ldd /sbin/init [...] libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fcaab659000) libpcre.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3 (0x00007fcaab3fd000) [...] After upgrading libpcre3, init should be restarted in order to take advantage of the newly installed version of libpcre3. This could be automatically performed by the postinst script, in a way similar to how libc6 handles the same situation. Compare with libc6 postinst script, which includes the following part: # Restart init. Currently handles chroots and upstart, and assumes # anything else is going to not fail at behaving like sysvinit: TELINIT=yes if ischroot 2>/dev/null; then # Don't bother trying to re-exec init from a chroot: TELINIT=no else if [ -x "`which initctl`" ]; then UPSTART=$(initctl version 2>/dev/null | awk '/upstart/ {print $3}' | tr -d ')') if dpkg --compare-versions "$UPSTART" lt-nl 1.6.1; then # This is an old upstart that can't re-exec statefully: TELINIT=no touch /var/run/init.upgraded fi fi fi if [ "$TELINIT" = "yes" ]; then telinit u 2>/dev/null || true ; sleep 1 fi Please consider doing something similar in libpcre3 postinst script. Thanks for your time.
