Package: needrestart
Version: 2.8-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After apt dist-upgrade on one of my Debian Jessie server VMs, I get
needrestart output:
│ Neuer Kernel vorhanden
│
│
│
│ Die aktuelle Kernel-Version ist 4.5.0-0.bpo.2-686, es wird jedoch die
Version 4.5.0-0.bpo.2-686 (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) #1 SMP Debian
4.5.4-1~bpo8+1 │
│ (2016-05-13)???? erwartet.

│ Das System wird nicht automatisch neu gestartet, um den neuen Kernel zu
laden. Ein Neustart sollte durchgeführt werden.
Means it thinks the kernel has changed, while it has not. I know for sure
I booted exactly this kernel. It seems to be confused detecting the end of
the version number in the second case as it appears that it uses the whole
output of /proc/version for comparison.
mondschein:~> cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.5.0-0.bpo.2-686 (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) (gcc version
4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.5.4-1~bpo8+1 (2016-05-13)
Why doesn´t it just use uname -r and be done with it?
On another of my Debian Jessie server VMs I am not seeing this issue, but
it uses amd64 as architecture instead of i386.
Thanks,
Martin
