Re: Checking for services to be restarted on a default Debian installation
* [Mon, Sep 01, 2014 at 08:48:25PM +0200] Thijs Kinkhorst: [needrestart] - Do people agree that this would be something that's good to have in a default installation? Are there drawbacks? I like needrestart and I added it to my standard toolbox since its admission in Debian (well, it took some versions for being really usable with a readline front-end), so I second this proposal. Please however note that it is not a replacement for checkrestart or a plain lsof, as it doesn't care for programs that don't have an init script. Maybe for such programs needrestart should warn and advice that a manual intervention is required, in the same way it currently does for kernel upgrades ?

The sole culprit of this is libclass-methodmaker-perl, which is a dependency of libterm-progressbar-perl. I'm not enough of a perl wizard to understand why a progressbar would need 20 MB of perl module to work, and whether this is fixable.

I just installed alpine as my plain text email client and that fits in less than 8MB of dependencies altogether. The checkrestart utility weighing 20MB can probably be fixed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It sure is for people doing minimal installations in a number of contexts. Yeah, it's nothing compared to gnome. It is a pretty significant fraction of debian's current minimum footprint.

Call for testing: gnupg update
Hi, The upcoming gnupg update introduces import functions that apply a constraining filter to imported keys, allowing to ensure that the keys fetched from the keyserver are in fact those selected by the user beforehand. The initial patch introduced regressions which were fixed upstream. Please test the packages from https://people.debian.org/~carnil/tmp/gnupg-pre-dsa/ If you find further regressions regarding those fixes please report the problem directly to th...@debian.org and car...@debian.org Regards, Salvatore signature.asc Description: Digital signature
