Subject: evolution-data-server: is a system reboot really required for every
 package update?

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 3.24.5-6
Severity: normal

Hello!

I was just informed that my system needs a reboot because the
evolution-data-server package has been updated.  Looking at the
postinst script, I see that the reboot notifier is called
on every package update.

Is it *really* the case that *every* update of the
evolution-data-server requires a full system reboot?  If not, then the
reboot notification should be made only on updates which actually
require it.

Best wishes,

   Julian
