Does this mean that with the tracer addin no longer working there is no way to get the equivalent functionality with dnf at update time?
According to the dnf5 man page, you should install the 'dnf5-plugins' package. Then the 'needs-restarting' command is available.
Also see https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dnf5.8.html and https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dnf5_plugins/needs_restarting.8.html#needs-restarting-plugin-ref-label.
As I posted in a separate thread on Friday last, I think that both the command 'tracer' and the corresponding dnf5 plugin are broken.
ACK.
# dnf needs-restarting Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. No core libraries or services have been updated since boot-up. Reboot should not be necessary.
# dnf needs-restarting -s Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. NetworkManager-wait-online.service accounts-daemon.service alsa-state.service atd.service [long list of services]
My comment was about the 'tracer' command, not the 'needs-restarting' thing. They have overlapping but distinct functions. What does 'tracer' say in your case?
