Dear Maintainer,

Recently every time I install something, needrestart seems to think that
rabbitmq-server needs to be restart, even when there were norelated
upgrades. I tried calling needrestart right after booting, and even then
it reported rabbitmq-server as needing a restart.

This can easily be reproduced in a clean testin VM:
----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-----------------
root@host:~# apt update -q=2
20 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
root@host:~# apt install -q=2 -y needrestart
[...]
root@host:~# apt install -q=2 -y rabbitmq-server
[...]

tags 995274 upstream fixed-upstream
thanks


Hi,

thanks for the verbose output. This is due to anonymous file mapping
/memfd (see also #988461). Has been already fixed upstream in
needrestart 3.6+ [1].
