Package: gnome-software Version: 3.16.5-2 Followup-For: Bug #787485 Dear Maintainer,
>From to the link posted on the last message: "Of course, we’ll still support updating applications in the session for GNOME 3.6 (as long as they are not running) just not the core OS bits. Comments, as always, welcome." This suggests to me that updates to software that is not currently running should be able to be applied without a reboot. However, this afternoon an update came through for Google Chrome (from the official Google repo; I was not running Chrome at the time, and all other packages were up to date), but gnome- software would not allow me to upgrade the package without a reboot, so I was forced to use the terminal instead. I consider this particular behaviour a bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-software depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.24.0-2 ii gnome-software-common 3.16.5-2 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.16.1-1 ii libappstream-glib7 0.4.1-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.16.0-2 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.2-2 ii libcairo2 1.14.2-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.5-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1 ii libgnome-desktop-3-10 3.16.2-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.16.6-1 ii libpackagekit-glib2-18 1.0.8-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-11 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.50.0-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.8.11.1-1 gnome-software recommends no packages. gnome-software suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
