Bug#205039: libc6: don't just ask if I want to restart all services on installation
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: minor
Upon installation, I see:
Setting up libc6 (2.3.2-2) ...
Checking for services that may need to be restarted...done.
Name Service Switch has changed in the C Library: post-installation question.
Running programs may not be able to do NSS lookups until they are
here say what NSS is, so users don't know
restarted (for services such as ssh, this can affect your ability to
login).
Note: restarting sshd/telnetd should not affect any existing connections.
The services detected are: inetd spamassassin cron apache ssh
If other services begin to fail mysteriously after this upgrade,
it may be necessary to restart them too. We strongly recommend
you to reboot your machine to avoid the NSS related trouble.
OK, I better reboot, even though I don't know what NSS is.
Do you wish to Restart Services? [Y/n]
Why don't you give a third choice: "ask which ones",
don't just assume that if one is installed, we run it all day
