Why 4 times daily and do you do that while you're working? How do you deal with packages being broken until the next reboot if you do updates during the day?

How do you deal with packages being broken until the next reboot if you do updates during the day?
I don't even update my Arch boxes that regularly and always do a reboot afterwards.
- pabs3 4y agoThe Debian archive is updated 4 times daily, so I update my system after each Debian update. I do that no matter whether I am working or not. Packages almost always aren't broken in Debian testing but if they were, a reboot would not fix them anyway. I restart processes instead of rebooting (using the needrestart/needrestart-session tools). I only reboot after Linux kernel image/module updates or microcode updates, because Debian cannot yet live-update those components.
