OSMH – Reboot needed flag doesn’t show yes after the patching on OSMH instances

in Linux

APPLIES TO

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Linux x86-64

SYMPTOMS

The customer applied patches (yum/dnf update) via OSMH. But reboot needed flag doesn’t show ‘yes’

CAUSE

OSMH uses the 'needs-restarting' feature of dnf/yum to check if an instance needs a reboot

[root@test ~]# sudo needs-restarting

sudo: needs-restarting: command not found

SOLUTION

The needs-restarting utility is provided by the yum-utils package.

Please install the yum-utils package

# dnf install yum-utils
