Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.84 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I ran checkrestart -pv, part of the output said List of deleted files in use: /var/lib/nfs/etab (deleted) I saw this file was not an indication of a service restart needed, so I added -b blacklistfile blacklistfile contained the pattern ^/var/lib/nfs/etab$ I expected this to match the file, but it didn't. Looking into the source code, I saw that instead "the file" it was matching against was "/var/lib/nfs/etab (deleted)" and so I had to adjust my pattern to be ^/var/lib/nfs/etab \(deleted\)$ The man page says the pattern matches "the file", not the file plus " deleted" appended to it. I don't think it makes any sense for this deleted to be part of what is matched.
