"Service restarts being deferred"

Show all headers | View raw

I run Buster with unattended updates configured to allow reboots.

Sometimes after an update, the log contains:

> Service restarts being deferred:
>  systemctl restart systemd-logind.service
>  systemctl restart unattended-upgrades.service

I don't understand why these services are not restarted, if necessary 
through a reboot.

I want my system to be able to run truly unattended for a long time, so 
necessary restarts should be done without waiting for manual 
intervention.  And if the restarts are not necessary, why are they there 
at all, though deferred?

So what have I misunderstood?
