.The `yum needs-restarting -s` command now correctly displays the list of systemd services Previously, when you used the `needs-restarting` command with the `-s` or `--services` option, an error occurred when a non-systemd or malfunctioning process was detected. With this update, the `yum needs-restarting -s` command ignores such processes and displays a warning instead with the list of affected systemd services.

Description jose-angel.orueta 2022-08-30 10:45:56 UTC
Description of problem:
The "dnf needs-restarting -s" command fail when a mysql container is running in the same host and a "systemd-libs" update has been donwloaded by dnf-automatic.

The command seems to identify the MySQL container like a service.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy a MySQL container mapping the /var/lib/mysql to a volume.
2. dnf-automatic donwloads a new version of "systemd-libs" package.
3. Execute "dnf needs-restarting -s".

Actual results:
[root@xxxxxxx ~]# dnf needs-restarting -s
