If you install the debian-goodies package, you can run checkrestart to see what programs are still holding open old libraries - though there are some false positives. You can then decide whether you just need to restart a particular service (checkrestart will tell you what, in most cases), or whether you need to reboot. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you whether you're running the latest installed kernel. Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
