Package: needrestart Version: 3.11-1 Severity: normal It seems like needrestart -p always asks for root, even when -k is used, and when it would work just fine without it:
$ needrestart -k Scanning linux images... Pending kernel upgrade! Running kernel version: 6.12.21-amd64 Diagnostics: The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version 6.12.22-amd64. Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled automatically, so you should consider rebooting. [Return] $ needrestart -p -k UNKN - This plugin needs to be run as root! $ fakeroot needrestart -p -k CRIT - Kernel: 6.12.21-amd64!=6.12.22-amd64 (!!)|Kernel=2;0;;0;2 Could you please consider relaxing the requirement for it to be run as root for -p to be used? I can use fakeroot, but it seems a bit silly. Cheers, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
