Hi mentors,
I read the Debian policy to create my package and i read this at chapter
"6.1 Introduction to package maintainer scripts"
"The package management system looks at the exit status from these
scripts. *It is important that they exit with a non-zero status if there
is an error*, so that the package management system can stop its
processing. For shell scripts this means that you almost always need to
use set -e (this is usually true when writing shell scripts, in fact).
It is also important, of course, that *they don’t exit with a non-zero
status if everything went well.*"
It seems that if an error occurs, the script have to exit with non-zero
status and later in paragraph, if all went well, the script has to exit
with non-zero status.
How do i have understand that ?
My opinion is that if everything went well, the exit status has to be
zero other else a non-zero status ?
Best regards
