Public bug reported: On GitHub action runners, if there is an update that causes needrestart to restart the runner-provisioner.service, the action job will immediately fail.
``` Restarting services... /etc/needrestart/restart.d/systemd-manager systemctl restart packagekit.service php8.3-fpm.service runner-provisioner.service systemd-journald.service systemd-networkd.service systemd-resolved.service systemd-udevd.service udisks2.service walinuxagent.service Terminated ``` While the above shows multiple services being restarted, "artificially" restarting just runner-provisioner.service has shown to cause an immediate failure (as seen in https://github.com/canonical/lxd- ci/actions/runs/9323021640/job/25665299316?pr=178) ``` + sudo systemctl restart runner-provisioner.service Error: Process completed with exit code 143. ``` If needrestart has a way to exclude services from being restarted, runner-provisioner.service should be added to the list. ** Affects: needrestart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2067800 Title: needrestart should avoid restarting runner-provisioner.service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/needrestart/+bug/2067800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
