The real reason why I also need to wontfix this is that the PackageKit update applet wrongly talks about "Kernel was updated" which is not really the case - glibc is not kernel :-) so we can only set it on kernel updates imho. Anyway, we'll consider to change the reboot_needed flag policy for the next glibc updates, so thanks for pointing this out! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
