Bug#165258: libc6: Should restart services when upgrading from versions prior to 2.3
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid
The call to dpkg --compare-versions in libc's postinst should compare
against a higher version than 2.1.95-1; after upgrading to 2.3.1-1, I
found that a lot of services (including in particular inetd and kdm)
didn't work right until I restarted them.
Incidentally, you should also broaden the list of relevant services; I
would suggest adding kdm (and other display managers?), ssh-krb5, and
apache2 at the least.
