Package: needrestart,how-can-i-help Version: needrestart/0.5-1, how-can-i-help/5
needrestart uses a fullscreen progress bar (which IMHO is totally overkill, but seemingly can't be turned off) which basically moves everything how-can-i-help outputs off the terminal's view port independent of the terminal's size. This lowers the usefulness of how-can-i-help drastically because you actively have to scroll up (or even use screen's scrollback mode as it's the case here) to see the output of how-can-i-help). Currently the last few entries of my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Jul 25 2007 70debconf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 231 Jun 10 2012 99-localepurge -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 May 29 2012 99apt-dater-host_periodic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 Sep 12 2013 99how-can-i-help -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 361 Sep 14 2013 99needrestart localepurge runs before needsrestart as run-parts seem to use C-locale ordering. I think 99how-can-i-help should run as last of these hooks as its primary purpose is to catch the user's attention with its output. 99-localepurge only outputs a few lines, so it's only a minor issue if it runs after how-can-i-help. Feel free to clone this bug report against localepurge,how-can-i-help if think this is worth being fixed, too. 99apt-dater-host_periodic only sets APT::Periodic::* values. Since there is no two-digit number after 99, I recommend to rename 99needrestart to maybe 97needrestart. Alternatively, but definitely less preferable, 99how-can-i-help could be renamed to 99zz-how-can-i-help. (Doing both should cause any harm, either.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
