Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-properties-gtk
I've set the automatic updates radio button to "install security updates
without confirmation".
Now, after many automatic upgrades i find that my ubuntu system is to be
rebooted.
This is quite annoying me, because it leaves me back to the windows
days, when I had to reboot windows almost daily beacuse of freezes or
things not working well. Now, while my system is quite robust, I'm in
the same situation for a different reason. Reboot as soon as possible!
I intend that this reboot messages are mostly due to kernel security
fixes, but my system is a standalone one and I'm behind a robust router
and firewall, so that I'm not exposed to attacks, and so I'm not in the
need of installing all the security updates immediately.
I'd appreciate if update-manager gave me the possibility to upgrade only
those packages whose upgrade doesn't require a system reboot.
This perhaps could be accomplished very easily mantaining a file with
the list of patterns that expands to packages that need reboot when
upgraded.
One more automatic updates radio button would be required in software-
properties-gtk, saying: "Install reboot-safe security updates without
confirmation", while the 1st option should become: "install all security
updates without confirmation"
