Package: apt
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: holger@layer-acht.org,pabs@debian.org
When "apt-get update" fails the program under some conditions exits with
a 0 status. It would be useful if it exited with a non-zero status in
that case (or if there were a switch to tell it to do so).
Since there is already...
- provide meaningful exit codes for network failures
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776152
and
- apt: Provide meaningful exit codes for gpg failures
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745735
That have been found more or less by trial and error... I am wondering,
if there are any other situations, where this could happen.
Perhaps while you're at #776152 and #745735, could you please check if
there are other cases, where apt-get exits with a 0 status, where it
should exit with a non-zero status?
Cheers,
Patrick

Changes:
apt (2.1.16) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[ Faidon Liambotis ]
* Various fixes to http and connect method
- basehttp: also consider Access when a Server's URI
- connect: convert a C-style string to std::string
- connect: use ServiceNameOrPort, not Port, as the cache key
.
[ Julian Andres Klode ]
* patterns: Add dependency patterns ?depends, ?conflicts, etc.
Note that the -broken- variants are not implemented yet.
* Rewrite of the kernel autoremoval code:
- Determine autoremovable kernels at run-time (LP: #1615381), this fixes the
issue where apt could consider a running kernel autoremovable
- Automatically remove unused kernels on apt {full,dist}-upgrade.
This helps ensuring that we don't run out of /boot space.
- Only keep up to 3 (not 4) kernels.
Ubuntu boot partitions were sized for 3 kernels, not 4.
* Bump codenames to bullseye/hirsute and adjust -security codename for
bullseye (Closes: #969932)
* Ignore failures from immediate configuration. This does not change the
actual installation ordering - we never passed the return code to the
caller and installation went underway anyway if it could be ordered at a
later stage, this just removes spurious after-the-fact errors.
(Closes: #973305, #188161, #211075, #649588) (LP: #1871268)
* Add support for Phased-Update-Percentage, previously used only by
update-manager.
* Implement update --error-on=any so that scripts can reliably check for
transient failures as well. (Closes: #594813)
.
[ Demi M. Obenour ]
* test/integration/framework: Be compatible with Bash
.
[ Vangelis Skarmoutsos ]
* Greek program translation update
