Package: needrestart Version: 2.11-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While trying to detect kernel status with needrestart -kv, the following message appears: /usr/lib/needrestart/vmlinuz-get-version: 23: /usr/lib/needrestart/vmlinuz-get-version: strings: not found It looks like needrestart attempts to invoke `strings' from the binutils package, but it is not marked as a dependency so may be missing. (While raised against 2.11-3, the dependency is still missing in 2.11-4 according to p.d.o.) -- Package-specific info: needrestart output: Failed to retrieve available kernel versions.
