Hi,

I'm use ansible to fire needrestart on Debian Stretch and Buster and I get this:

$ ansible -K -m raw server-farm -a "needrestart -rl"

Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.

No services need to be restarted.

No containers need to be restarted.

No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

Any idea what could be wrong?

This is the progress bar implementation and might be triggered if ncurses detects a very small number of terminal columns.

This should be fixed by this pull request: #167

@casimirextreme we don't know yet if the maintainer will merge my pull request, so I'd suggest to reopen/keep this bug open until it is merged...

[casimirextreme]

Indeed. Sorry.
Ticket has been reopened.

[liske]

Closing after merging #167.
