Package: needrestart Version: 1.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Thomas and Patrick,
if I want to report a bug against needrestart, the bug script runs /etc/needrestart/hook.d/30-pacman which calls "pacman" with neither a given path nor with limiting $PATH. On my system it finds the game binary /usr/games/pacman from the package pacman instead of the expected ArchLinux's package manager (which is named "pacman", too, but isn't available in Debian). Interestingly /usr/games/pacman seems to swallow the given options without issues and happily runs, well, Pacman. :-D See the screenshot at http://gallery.noone.org/Screenshots/Fehler/?start=9&image=needrestart-pacman-vs-pacman.png This was probably the most hilarious bug I ever run into. Thanks for that experience. :-) P.S.: To get out of this so that I can still report the bug, I started the following little script in another terminal: while :; do killall -INT pacman; sleep 0.1 ; done -- Package-specific info: <#part type="text/plain" disposition=attachment description="Bug script output"> needrestart output: Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.
