A small number of services is marked "not safe to restart" because a restart can crash the graphic session on which the upgrade/removal/purge is performed. Example: dbus, lightdm, sddm, slim, xdm. So postrm of this package will not stop the above services on removal, and will fail to purge if one of the above services is still running as runit service. Not sure how to improve the situation here: stopping any display manager from within a graphic session would break purge in any case .. I'll see if it's acceptable to ignore dbus/elogind and/or to improve the message printed. >From some test it looks that my desktop (lxqt+openbox+slim) survives if only dbus is restarted, but some programs crash and other misbehave, I'll do more tests on other desktop environments. Probably this deserve its own section in the README. Lorenzo
