Package: needrestart
Version: 3.4-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer

In a ppc64le host, needrestart did not notice last kernel upgrade to suggest a reboot.

new kernel version linux-image-4.19.0-5-powerpc64le 4.19.37-5+deb10u2
previous kernel version linux-image-4.19.0-5-powerpc64le 4.19.37-5+deb10u1

needrestart output:
# needrestart
Scanning processes...
Scanning linux images...

Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.

Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades.

No services need to be restarted.

No containers need to be restarted.

No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

# uname -a
Linux r17u01 4.19.0-5-powerpc64le #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-5+deb10u1 (2019-07-19) ppc64le GNU/Linux

Expected behaviour as server is not rebooted yet, is to detect that kernel change and suggest a reboot.

This problem does not happen in amd64 architecture (4.19.0-5-amd64) although they version upgrade is similar 4.19.37-5+deb10u1 -> 4.19.37-5+deb10u2.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Diego Arroyo
