Bug#528755: [libc6] shouldn't offer to restart services that are not started at all
Package: libc6
Version: 2.9-12
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
On upgrades, the package collects a list of supposedly running services that
might need a restart to work properly. However, the collected list of
services includes stopped ones, and also services that are not even
configured to be started in the current runlevel.
[11:13] ~ => ls -la /etc/rc?.d/S??slapd

│ Running services and programs that are using NSS need to be restarted, otherwise they might not be able to do lookup or │
│ authentication any more (for services such as ssh, this can affect your ability to login). Please review the following │
│ space-separated list of init.d scripts for services to be restarted now, and correct it if needed. │
│ │
│ Note: restarting sshd/telnetd should not affect any existing connections. │

This would start services that are currently down.
