Yes, that's great, but some of the non-special cases are not that obvious. Should I reboot or at least restart kdm after libtiff4 update? On one host I get the feeling I don't since 'lsof 2>/dev/null | grep libtiff' returns nothing. Then again this would suggest, that at least kde/kdm needs to be restarted: # apt-cache rdepends libtiff4|grep kde kdelibs4 kdegraphics-kfile-plugins So which one is it? update-notifier seems nice, but how does it know what to do? I looked at the code but couldn't see how it knows when to reboot and when package upgrade is enough. -Mikko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
