Problem: UMC incorrectly reports that a reboot is required

Problem

UMC displays the following notification although the system does not require a reboot:

This system has been updated recently. Please reboot this system to finish the update.

Investigation

Check the legacy UCR variable used by UMC:

ucr get update/reboot/required

If the result is true, inspect when it was set:

zgrep 'update/reboot/required' /var/log/univention/config-registry.replog*

On current UCS versions, no active production mechanism sets this variable. It may have been set manually or remain from a legacy mechanism.

Before clearing it, verify that no current reboot marker exists:

ls -l /run/reboot-required /run/univention-updater-reboot 2>/dev/null

Solution

If no reboot marker exists and no reboot is required, remove the obsolete UCR variable:

ucr unset update/reboot/required

Reload UMC. The reboot notification should no longer be displayed.
