This machine has got as far as apt-get upgrade with the recent point release, so I've yet to dist-upgrade for the new kernel and reboot. At the moment it shows: $ /sbin/needrestart Scanning processes... Your outdated processes: bash[928], systemd[886] $ /sbin/needrestart -v [main] eval /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf [main] needrestart v3.5 [main] running in user mode [Core] Using UI 'NeedRestart::UI::stdio'... [main] systemd detected [main] #886 uses deleted /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 [main] #928 uses obsolete binary /usr/bin/bash Your outdated processes: bash[928], systemd[886] $ so perhaps try adding the -v. Cheers, David.
