Package: needrestart Version: 3.6-4+deb12u3 Severity: serious Justification: Breaks unrelated software X-Debbugs-Cc: elb...@debian.org, d...@darkboxed.org
Hi Patrick, I investigated a curious networking problem in Debian's autopkgtest infrastructure along with Paul. We found that a recent (innocent) nftables update caused needrestart to trigger a nftables.service restart which flushed volatile firewall rules installed into the kernel by lxc. Specifically by lxc-net.service see /usr/libexec/lxc/lxc-net. I think we should add an exception for nftables to $nrconf{override_rc} to avoid this problem since there doesn't seem to be any point in restarting it for security purposes. Thanks, --Daniel
