Surely this is not correct, as if a user says "yes" then the upgrade will be halted - with a mish-mash of versions and more than likely not reboot correctly if at all?

really funny. how for weeks I'm asking you for apt-get update from cmd line (because of all the small bugs and glitches caused each run with xbian-config to miss something. finally, when nothing has been left behind, when all cases statuses are followed checked, when at the end you can stick to XBMC config or xbian-config CLI … you starts using apt-get update ?

anyhow. it is like this: there are packages and packages. all could be updated live without special care (like stop xbmc or something else). there are some which will not be in effect until reboot. those during it's install trigger reboot-required. this is ignored silently until apt-get or dpkg finishes. then it depends. if you are in xbian-config GUI or XBMC is started, you are notified. If you decline, you won't be bothered again. If nor XBMC nor xbian-config GUI is running, reboot is scheduled automatically in 1 minute. can be canceled by "shutdown -c". those few packages are xbian-config-shell (because it's influence over initramfs.gz, initramfs.gz itself, of course kernel and finally XBMC. all other you will barely notify.

of course we would be stupid to allow that but firstly the need to reboot is checked. if true, then running apt-get & dpkg is checked.

at least that was how I designed it. there is although a second place where reboot need is checked - during closing of xbian-config-xbmc. will add that second check also there.

btw: apt-get -s upgrade (for checking) will do for manual control, because you see the KEPT BACK packages on the screen. but in general better use

Code:

xbian-apt-show-versions -u

the other benefit is it runs fast as hell. 2s max.
