Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.63 Followup-For: Bug #748055 I have this problem too. The source is that checkrestart sees "/[aio]" from lsof, and concludes that is a "problem".
Key output from checkrestart -v: Found 3 processes using old versions of upgraded files (2 distinct programs) Process /usr/sbin/mysqld (PID: 7048) List of deleted files in use: /[aio] <repeats hundreds of times> This is the only deleted file from mysqld that checkrestart -v reports on.
