Using severity important for anything DPKG_ROOT related sounds dubious to me, because the feature is not finalized in dpkg, but a technology preview. > tag: patch Please add the patch tag again once attaching the patch. > Testing dpkg testsuite without beeing root needrestart crash. Maybe you can give more details here as to what crashes and how it fails? > I believe need restart need to take in account $DPKG_ROOT You mentioned on irc that the file you want to touch is /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/needrestart. That's not a maintainer script. DPKG_ROOT is only defined during maintainer script execution. Thus DPKG_ROOT will be undefined here. > at least it should not execute if dpkg-root is set (so patch) Why should execution of needrestart depend on the way maintainer scripts are executed? That doesn't make any sense to me. Shouldn't the real condition be something like skipping needrestart when it is not installed in the system /? Helmut
