Description Patrick O'Callaghan 2024-11-06 14:53:44 UTC
Using 'dnf upgrade' updates a number of packages including some affecting running programs, but 'sudo tracer -a' shows nothing that needs to be restarted. This is the case both with the stand-alone program and the dnf plugin, even when 'dnf --needs-restarting -s' does show a list of services needing restarting.

Prior to upgrading from F40 to F41, I have always used 'tracer' and relied on it. It now seems to do nothing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run 'dnf upgrade'
2.Observe (by eye) some programs that should be restarted
3.Run 'sudo tracer -a' and get no output.
Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
List of processes that need to be restarted.

Results contradict the output of 'dnf --needs-restarting -s'

EDIT:

After a subsequent update of kernel packages 'tracer -a' did call for a reboot.

Comment 1 Patrick O'Callaghan 2024-11-07 11:52:09 UTC
More info:

$ sudo tracer --show-resource=packages
Date           Time      Package name                            
-------------------------------------------------------
$

For some reason tracer isn't seeing the package list. However 'dnf5 history' does show updates correctly.

Thank you for the report Patrick,
I created an upstream issue for this https://github.com/FrostyX/tracer/issues/215
and I will prioritize it because this is a big problem.
