Dear Maintainer, dh_installsystemduser/14.3 added a destructive action to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/uwsm.postinst:

"deb-systemd-invoke --user restart ..." on all user units installed by uwsm, causing
unexpected restart of applications in user session, and a failure due to inability
to restart a terminal unit in which apt upgrade is running.

This step should be excluded from uwsm package automation scripts.

Hi,

thanks for the report.
There is currently no way of changing this
behaviour in dh-compat 14. For now we'll rollback to 13.

Best,
