[pkg-fso-maint] Bug#853016: even stops apt

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

AJ> This is documented behaviour and thus not RC, please see the release notes:

AJ> "You should not upgrade using telnet, rlogin, rsh, or from an X
AJ> session managed by xdm, gdm or kdm etc. on the machine you are
AJ> upgrading. That is because each of those services may well be terminated
AJ> during the upgrade, which can result in an inaccessible system that is
AJ> only half-upgraded."

Well I was using nodm at the time, not any of those.

AJ> The package has logic to not restart nodm if the user is logged in (I
AJ> think this was copied from gdm3):

AJ> if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
AJ>   if [ -x /etc/init.d/nodm ]; then
AJ>     nostop=
AJ>     for hostname in "" "localhost" "$(hostname)" "$(hostname -f)"; do
AJ>       if echo $DISPLAY | grep -q "^$hostname:0.*"; then
AJ>         nostop=yes
AJ>       fi
AJ>     done
AJ>     if [ -z $nostop ]; then
AJ>       invoke-rc.d nodm stop
AJ>     fi
AJ>   fi
AJ> fi

AJ> It seems that this didn't work for you for one reason or the other. I'll
AJ> look into this.

I'm not sure why that failed either.
Wouldn't it be best just to let the user start and stop it by himself?
Just like when upgrading linux-image, xorg, etc. No reason to halt the
running version right now.
