Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.61 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello Javier, I've just noticed that checkrestart fails to show getty processes, when they need to be restarted.
# checkrestart
Found 5 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
# checkrestart -v
Found 5 processes using old versions of upgraded files

These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
This seems to be wrong: getty processes need to be restarted (with a
"killall -TERM getty", since they are in respawn...), checkrestart
tells me that there are 5 processes that I should restart, but it
does not tell me which program it's talking about.
I need to use the "-v" option to figure it out...
This seems to be caused by an over-fixing of bug #673045, which just
talked about screen and didn't mention util-linux at all.
The attached patch (which I think is so trivial that it is not
copyrighted) fixes the issue for me:
# ./a/checkrestart
Found 5 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)
# ./b/checkrestart
Found 5 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(1 distinct packages)
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
util-linux:
2528 /sbin/getty
2527 /sbin/getty
2529 /sbin/getty
2530 /sbin/getty
2531 /sbin/getty
Please apply this patch and try to have it accepted for migration
into testing, if possible.
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
