Even worse: One of those other 11 was a kernel-image package, and this

I haven't been asked to re-start any services by glibc updates for
quite some time, and back in the days when glibc asked to restart
services, it always failed.
So, rebooting seems to be the only way to be sure after a library
update.

helps you to find out which ones.
There is also checkrestart from the debian-goodies package. Seems to
do some more stuff, but don't know how much better it is.

This reminds me of a horror story at a place I used to work. I was

Moral of the story: NEVER SHUTDOWN OR REBOOT WITHOUT ASKING.
Another moral might be to always test the stuff you plan to do on a
production server on a test-server first. I fail to see how it is
sensible to browse the net on a production server. And I fail to see
