Maybe this can (easily?) solve the issue that -lts kernels are always detected as outdated

This used to work for me, but now I'm getting "Can't exec "service": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/needrestart line 1080, <STDIN> line 1." I'll guess this is a systemd vs. openrc (what I use) difference. Is this fixable, or does someone need to create a separate needrestart-openrc package? (openrc uses rc-service instead of service)

PSA: This needs a rebuild after the recent perl updates.

Hi! @t-8ch the PKGBUILD lacks some information in the package() block. It should look like this to install the perl module NeedRestart.pm system-wide. Otherwise it is installed in the current users home directory, which makes sudo needrestart impossible (sudo is needed eg for ineractive mode).

package() {
        cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
        unset PERL5LIB PERL_MM_OPT PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT
        make INSTALLDIRS=vendor DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
}

For everyone who wonders why there is an unset in the PKGBUILD, please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Perl_package_guidelines.

Hi @wuestengecko, unfortunately needrestart does currently not work with the microcode packaged in Arch, but only in Debian. Debian provides the different ucode images in a directory, while arch provides a single initrd image that contains it all. Support for the Arch way should probably added upstream.

The microcode, which is now checked by default, can't be checked so UNKNOWN is correct. I think we should keep the package as is.

You can work around this by specifying -k and -l explicitly to go back to the 2.x behaviour.

v3.0 requires iucode-tool to check for Intel microcode updates (AMD is currently unsupported). Note that the actual microcode is provided by the intel-ucode package.

Without iucode-tool, on Intel machines you get the following error and the Nagios plugin mode always returns UNKNOWN:

which: no iucode_tool in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin)

(with your actual $PATH in parentheses, of course)

Version 3.0 is out... just replace pkgver=2.10 with pkgver=3.0 in PKGBUILD

@vith: As stated, you just need to rebuild the impacted module (in that case needrestart)

Whenever pacman upgrades any package, this gets printed: :: Running post-transaction hooks... (1/2) Warn about old perl modules WARNING: '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl' contains data from at least 1 packages which will NOT be used by the installed perl interpreter. -> Run the following command to get a list of affected packages: pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl' ❯ pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl' needrestart

perl-module-scandeps is a missing dependency
