[Bug 1626345] Re: After rebooting for updates, reboot is still required.

[Brian Murray]

The autoremove would have created the reboot-required file.

Start-Date: 2016-09-20  06:56:26
Commandline: apt autoremove
Requested-By: barry (1000)
Remove: linux-image-extra-4.4.0-34-generic:amd64 (4.4.0-34.53), linux-headers-4.4.0-34-generic:amd64 (4.4.0-34.53), linux-headers-4.4.0-34:amd64 (4.4.0-34.53), linux-image-4.4.0-34-generic:amd64 (4.4.0-34.53)
End-Date: 2016-09-20  06:56:55

Do you have a '/var/run/reboot-required.pkgs' file?  If so does it
contain anything?

Title:
  After rebooting for updates, reboot is still required.

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Yesterday unattended-upgrades required a reboot for kernel updates as
  expected. But today unattended-upgrades required a reboot even though
  there were no updates.

  On this machine (16.04 server) unattended-upgrades is configured to
  reboot automatically.

  This also happened on another 16.04 server with default unattended-
  upgrades configuration. It displayed the *******System restart
  required******* message. The same on a 14.04 server and a 14.04
  desktop.

  Expected behaviour: Not to do an unnecessary reboot.

  Let me know what other information I can provide.
