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

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No user sessions are running outdated binaries.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
