That'll be libc6's postinst calling 'init u' so that init restarts itself with the new libc. If it didn't work, you'd have seen "Attempt to re-exec failed" as well. > Is it a good thing for it to be doing? Yes. If it isn't done, init will keep on running with the old libc, complete with bugs. > Do I need to do anything about it? No, I think it's just logcheck being excessively paranoid.
