Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

This seems a rather pointless question to ask the user giving we are doing an OS upgrade and we have been told to shut down all the running programs.

Just hit this on an upgrade:

 * Services to restart in make them use the new libraries
 * [ntp ] [Help]

This question shouldn't be appearing at all; "mummy, what's 'ntp'?".

Luke, can you have a look at this? Perhaps lowering the priority of the question will be sufficient, though it might be worth doing a cursory check that there's nothing there that could seriously break on a desktop system if automatically restarted. I would also recommend triggering the stock "reboot soon" desktop notification.

Hi,

bug 182446 appears to be a duplicate of this bug,
or at least very similar, it may be a different version of
openssl.

Thanks,

We had a similar upgrade issue with libc6. Currently there are two environment variables that may be interessting:
RELEASE_UPGRADE_IN_PROGRESS=1
RELEASE_UPGRADE_MODE={desktop,server}

The libc6.preinst looks like this:
...
                  db_subst glibc/upgrade services $services
                    if [ "$RELEASE_UPGRADE_MODE" = desktop ]; then
                        db_input medium glibc/upgrade || true
                    else
                        db_input critical glibc/upgrade || true
                    fi
...

We can probably use a similar solution. If the default is to restart, we need to be careful that nothing on the desktop breaks due to the restart.
