Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.61 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello again Javier, I've just found out that checkrestart fails to show the xscreensaver process, when it needs to be restarted.
# checkrestart
Found 1 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
# checkrestart -v
Found 1 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
Process /usr/bin/xscreensaver (PID: 2823)
List of deleted files in use:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libuuid.so.1.3.0
Running:['dpkg-query', '--search', '/usr/bin/xscreensaver']
Reading line: xscreensaver: /usr/bin/xscreensaver
(1 distinct packages)
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
As in bug #688808 (which I hope you are going to fix soon, by applying
the patch I provided for that...), checkrestart tells me that there is
1 process that I should restart, but it does not tell me which program
it's talking about.
I need to use the "-v" option to figure it out...
This seems to be caused by the ignorelist check, which is triggered
whenever the package name *includes* one ignorelist item (rather than
when the package name is *equal* to one ignorelist item).
As a consequence, it seems to me that all packages that include
the substring "screen" in their names are ignored!
The attached patch (which I think is so trivial that it is not
copyrighted) fixes the issue for me:
# ./a/checkrestart
Found 1 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
# ./b/checkrestart
Found 1 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
xscreensaver:
2823 /usr/bin/xscreensaver
Please apply this patch as soon as possible, assuming that you agree
with the proposed fix, of course...
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
