Skip needrestart if Pacman Hook is Installed

[RayJW]

Not sure whether this is actually a bug, or maybe it would make more sense to label this as a feature request.

Erroneous Behavior

Per default, the needrestart package from the AUR installs a pacman hook which runs needrestart on every upgrade. I assume this would be the most common install method for needrestart users on Arch.

Expected Behavior

Maybe it would make sense to check if this hook is present and skip the needrestart step, if it is. Usually that would either be in /usr/share/libalpm/hooks or /etc/pacman.d/hooks.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the needrestart package from the AUR
2. Run topgrade where a package gets upgraded
3. Observe topgrade running needrestart twice, once as the pacman hook, and the other time as a separate step

Problem persists without calling from topgrade

• Yes
• No

Did you run topgrade through Remote Execution

• Yes
• No

If yes, does the issue still occur when you run topgrade directly in your
remote host

• Yes
• No

Additional Details

• Operation System/Version: CachyOS

• Installation: Cargo

• Topgrade version (topgrade -V): topgrade 16.0.1

Verbose Output (topgrade -v)
