  • needrestart no longer depends on libmodule-scandeps-perl?

    From Mike Kupfer@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 19 19:40:01 2024
    I noticed that after updating 'needrestart' to 3.6-4+deb12u2, the 'libmodule-scandeps-perl' package now shows up in the autoremove list.
    (In a VM that still has the 3.6-4+deb12u1 'needrestart', trying to
    remove 'libmodule-scandeps-perl' will also remove 'needrestart'.)

    Can someone confirm that this is expected behavior?

    thanks,
    mike

    Yes. See the changelog:

    Thanks. I had tried looking at the changelog, but Synaptic and apt were
    unable to find it.

    Okay. After some poking around, I now see a couple ways to get at the changelog. One is the copy in
    /usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/changelog.Debian.gz. The other is via the
    news item for the update, in tracker.debian.org.

    thanks,
    mike

    The dependency was removed for 3.7-3.1, which is in unstable at the
    moment.

    Hm. "apt-get changelog needrestart" works for me? Since apt delegates
    to apt-get, it should do the same... in fact, it works, too.

    What's missing?

    Cheers

    Aaah. Makes sense now. Thanks for the enlightenment & sorry
    for the noise.

    Specifically, I think it has to do with the way security updates are
    handled, and where apt-get looks for changelogs. With my bookworm VM,
    when I run the snapshot that still has 3.6-4+deb12u1 installed, "apt
    changelog needrestart" works fine:

    deb12$ apt changelog needrestart
    Get:1 https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org needrestart 3.6-4+deb12u1 Changelog [29.3 kB]
    Fetched 29.3 kB in 1s (31.8 kB/s)

    But with the most recent snapshot, which has 3.6-4+deb12u2, I get

    deb12$ apt changelog needrestart
    Err:1 https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org needrestart 3.6-4+deb12u2 Changelog
    Changelog unavailable for needrestart=3.6-4+deb12u2 (404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.198.132 443])
    E: Failed to fetch https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/needrestart/needrestart_3.6-4%2bdeb12u2_changelog Changelog unavailable for needrestart=3.6-4+deb12u2 (404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.198.132 443])

    Looking in https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/needrestart/, I
    see that there is indeed a changelog file for 3.6-4+deb12u1, but not 3.6-4+deb12u2. Maybe "apt changelog needrestart" will work after the
    next point release of bookworm?
