Title:
  libc6 2.15-0ubuntu10.13 doesn't mark reboot-required

Status in eglibc source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in eglibc source package in Trusty:

Status in glibc source package in Wily:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  2.15-0ubunt10.13 on ubuntu 12.04 was installed last night as a result
  of http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2900-1/ and unattended-upgrades

  However we are not getting a reboot-required file in /var/run/reboot-
  required.

  We are doing reboots by hand, but we believe this should be fixed.
  I'll have a look at the packaging to see why this didn't happen.

  Thanks for any help,

    Will Pearson
