Package: needrestart Version: 0.9-1 Severity: normal When needrestart is installed on a system with dpkg version older than 1.16.0, dpkg constantly gives this error: dpkg: configuration error: /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/needrestart:7: unknown option 'status-logger'
I need to remove this file in order to make dpkg usable again. According to /usr/share/doc/dpkg/changelog.Debian.gz, the status-logger option was added in dpkg version 1.16.0, so needrestart should probably require this version. -- Package-specific info: needrestart output: Scanning processes Pending kernel upgrade!
