[Bug 1582958] Re: reboot-required.pkgs dose not clear after rebooting

[Patrick Pfeifer]

I have the same problem.

I will "fix" my system now by "making /var/run a symlink to /run." as
Steve suggested. Unfortunately "Ubuntu" has not been doing that for me
in my case. The two paths are separate directories. Only /run is a
tmpfs. /var/run is on the root filesystem.

System: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

Originally "installed" in January 2015 by "pasting" (dd) a cloud-image
to the (Virtual Servers) hard disk.

Title:
  reboot-required.pkgs dose not clear after rebooting

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Even after rebooting, update-notifier popups, and the contents of /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs dose not clear.
  Possible cause may be that I do not use GUI for upgrading pkgs, but use CLI (apt-get).

  If my consideration is right, we need a system to automatically and
  forcibly delete /var/run/reboot-required and /var/run/reboot-
  required.pkgs after reboot.
