** Description changed:

  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.
+ Now, after almost every automatic upgrade 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"

software-properties-gtk should permit to upgrade only the packages that doesn't 
requiere reboot
