[Solved] - Cairo Dock suggests frequent reboot after many package updates

[kdemeoz]

OK, thank you, but just to clarify in case i have unwittingly mislead you... i DO use Mint Updater, ie, what i have been calling Update Manager [they are the same thing, aren't they? -- "mintUpdate 4.9.3+git20160302.1222+8-0"]. And i do generally also select level 4 & 5 [again, in the Manager]. But it has not been telling me to restart, only that CD applet has been telling me that [& as per the very beginning of this thread, i never knew if i should believe it or not]. When i mentioned Synaptic, that's only when i want to install additional packages, but for update management of all my existing packages, i leave it to the Update Manager.

I kinda feel now that this thread has almost gone around a full circle     Given that the CD applet has been nagging me for 24-36 hours now to reboot, i suppose i'd better listen to it & do it... after i send this post.
