Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.39
Severity: normal

Please don't report that processes need to be restarted if they have
files open in /dev/pts that have been deleted:

# checkrestart
Found 38 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(32 distinct programs)
dpkg: /home/pabs/opt/bin/synfigstudio not found.
(28 distinct packages)

Of these, 2 seem to contain init scripts which can be used to restart them:
The following packages seem to have init scripts that could be used
to restart them:
gdm:
        4005    /usr/sbin/gdm
        4011    /usr/sbin/gdm
gpm:
        32653   /usr/sbin/gpm

These are the init scripts:
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
/etc/init.d/gpm restart

Dunno how/why the /dev/pts/8 device got deleted, but checkrestart
shouldn't worry about device files in /dev/pts/.
