Description Martin Mrazik 2009-02-26 08:56:26 UTC

I found this while installing SLES11 RC5. After the update of cpio, the  installer wanted to reboot system with a message that kernel was updated.

The patch indeed was suggesting reboot according to metadata:
<reboot_suggested>1</reboot_suggested>

However, the message is confusing as no new kernel was installed.

I agree, there should be generic message.

Comment 2 Marcus Meissner 2009-02-26 12:43:37 UTC

cpio test update also had got the flag incorrectly (swamp hickup)

RebootNeeded: true

is set in the patchinfo, biut is definitely not needed for cpio ;)

Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2009-02-26 17:34:30 UTC

it was just a test update. it was easier to build a testupdate for cpio than for kernel, because it takes a week sometimes to get a testupdate for kernel built.

the message should be generic though.

What about this one? Any comments?

"Some application requiring restart has been updated. The system will
reboot now then continue the installation."

I'm fine with this.
