KDM doesn't require manual stopping. NSS is, KDM uses NSS so glibc suggests to restart KDM.
I am still thinking about this, but in my humble opinion this is really an issue with the wording of the libc6 posinst script. It should advise to do a KDM restart _after_ the upgrade. It really doesn't make any difference if I restart it mid-upgrade or post-upgrade for KDM. I'll just make this bug affect glibc and see what it's specialists think. ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Also affects: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Upgrade from kubuntu Dapper requires manual intervention and kdm shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223226 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
