Unfortunately we're currently rather short of mechanisms for a library package to discover what running daemons need to be restarted, not counting the dodgy hack used by glibc for NSS upgrades, which I really wouldn't want to perpetuate (it's just a hardcoded list of package names). So, while it's probably a bug, it's not a sign of poor maintenance since we just don't have the infrastructure to do it right yet. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
