Bug#168189: libc6: Consider restarting 'samba' on upgrade
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-3
Severity: important
Hopefully straightforward: the 'samba' server broke when I upgraded
libc6, and mended again when I restarted it.
Do you wish to Restart Services? [Y/n]
Restarting services possibly affected by the upgrade:
inetd: stopping...starting...done.
cron: stopping...starting...done.
apache: stopping...starting...done.
ssh: stopping...starting...done.
Services restarted succesfully!
I believe that offering a restart of Samba at this point would help
matters, and not have bad side effects (as with restarting XDM).

for whether they need restarting on libc upgrades?</pie>

the moment anyway because of libcupsys2 dependencies. I apologise if
the age of this has caused the need for the restart.)
