Tracer does not report that a reboot is necessary after updating only kernel packages. This is presumably because kernel packages are marked installonly -- perhaps a special condition should be triggered for kernel packages to indicate that a reboot is needed, or perhaps users should be warned if any installonly package is installed (I don't know if any others exist besides for kernel).

Thank you for the feedback.
This is definitely a bug. Very simple reproducer:

sudo dnf update kernel
sudo tracer -e
# There should be some note about kernel

I wrote this simple shell script to check the kernel version. Can be used as work-around until this issue is fixed.

Created #83.
If someone can validate the approach that would be great, I think it will work across all distros ?
