Package: needrestart
Version: 3.5-5
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: syst...@packages.debian.org
User: pkg-systemd-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: cgroupv2

needrestart detects that user@1000.service needs to be restarted,
instead of that the pabs user sessions have outdated binaries.

The session detection definitely used to work at one point though.

I've filed this at severity serious because it means that the user
notification scripts in the needrestart package don't work, which means
the needrestar-session package is not very useful any more.

Looking at my mail archives, that started 2021-01-07 12:27 and in the
upgrade before that systemd was upgraded from 247.1-3+deb11u1 to
systemd 247.2-4, so that was probably the cause.

Aside from the minor new upstream version, systemd 247.2-4 moved some
libraries from /lib to /usr/lib.

systemd upstream seems to have deleted their 247.2 git tag and there is
no reference to it in their NEWS files.

Looking at the Debian NEWS file, systemd 247.2-2 switched to cgroupv2,
so I think that is probably the cause of this bug.

I will test this theory next time I reboot.
