Software installation fails due to prompt of restarting service

[mbay-ODW]

Describe the bug When I want to install e.g. nano on my system I do get the info that I need to restart services due to outdated libraries.

Expected behavior Prompt will be handled accordingly

Screenshots Find attached the prompt that appears while installing manually on site.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS - Linux
• System-Architecture - armv71
• thin-edge.io version [1.2

Not sure maybe its not a bug but a feature request on how those or other prompts should be handled.

@mbay-ODW What OS are you using? Debian?

Just a quick google search showed some direction, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73397110/how-to-stop-ubuntu-pop-up-daemons-using-outdated-libraries-when-using-apt-to-i.

The pop-up seems to come from the needrestart command where you should be able to configure your OS to take the desired action (e.g. automatically restart or not etc.)

(taken from the above link), the needrestart command can be configured using the following one-liner, however it would still be advised reading the manual for needrestart to make sure it behaves as you want.

sed "/#\$nrconf{restart} = 'i';/s/.*/\$nrconf{restart} = 'a';/" /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf

@mbay-ODW Have you had a chance to try it out?

Yes in deed, that worked. Thanks for the pointing. Can be closed.
