Public bug reported: update-manager should be aware if after the suggeste upgrade the system need reboot, and warn the user so that he/she can decide when to upgrade the system.
Actually the user may be in such a work that a reboot isn't recommended. Realizing that a reboot is needed after the upgrade has completed and not being able to make it may make difficult keep working. I'm proposing that update-manager: - inform the user that the upgrade will bring the need to reboot - separate the packages that will be responsible for the upgrade need and offer the possibility to upgrade only those that doesn't bring the need to upgrade Thank you!
