[Bug 45890] Re: Message: "You need to reboot" after update of not system related packages

[Michael Vogt]

Do I get this correct? Whatever you upgrade *after* the upgrade a file /var/run/reboot-required is there, but *before* it was not? Does this also happens when you install some random package:
# apt-get install 3dchess
and/or when you reinstall a random pkg
# apt-get install --reinstall somepkg

?

Is there anything in the log of apt that indicates that one package is
in a weird state and its postinst is run for some reason again?

Thanks,
 michael
