2023-07-26 07:45:25 Launchpad Janitor update-notifier (Ubuntu): status New Fix Released
2023-07-31 19:53:01 Nick Rosbrook description [Impact] There is not currently a user-friendly way to be notified that a reboot is required as a result of a package that was upgraded during unattended-upgrades. The reboot notification in update-notifier that was removed long ago would serve this purpose. [Test Plan] TODO [Where problems could occur] Bringing back old code may reveal bugs in the old code that would have been found if it was maintained all this time. Besides that, if we saw regressions introduced by this it would likely be related to the monitoring of other files. [Impact] There is not currently a user-friendly way to be notified that a reboot is required as a result of a package that was upgraded during unattended-upgrades. The reboot notification in update-notifier that was removed long ago would serve this purpose. [Test Plan] 1. Install update-notifier from jammy-proposed. 2. Reboot 3. Install a package, or install updates, so that /var/lib/dpkg/info is updated. 4. If needed, touch /var/run/reboot-required (this might actually happen depending on what you install/update). 5. Wait 3 hours for the reboot notification to appear. 6. Click on the notification icon to show the option to reboot, and click on that. [Where problems could occur] Bringing back old code may reveal bugs in the old code that would have been found if it was maintained all this time. Besides that, if we saw regressions introduced by this it would likely be related to the monitoring of other files. [Other information] We are only interested in SRU'ing to Jammy because that's where the use case exists. We are OK with the fact that this behavior will be omitted from Lunar.

[Impact] There is not currently a user-friendly way to be notified that a reboot is required as a result of a package that was upgraded during unattended-upgrades. The reboot notification in update-notifier that was removed long ago would serve this purpose. The main rationale for this is that we needed to enable this for a special jammy-based customer and we do not want this functionality to regress whenever a new update-notifier is released. We think that this change will benefit all Ubuntu users. It does change the behavior, but we think it's a change that is acceptable. We're open to discussion with the SRU team about this.

[Other information] We are mainly interested in SRU'ing to Jammy because that's where the use case exists, but we can keep Lunar up-to-date as well.
