Bug ID: 468059
Summary: pkcon incorrect error response on update (no packages
updated).
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: joe.vaug...@gmail.com
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDE Neon 'pkcon update' command returns incorrect status/error code when
nothing is installed/updated.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. sudo /usr/bin/pkcon refresh -p
2. sudo /usr/bin/pkcon update -yp
OBSERVED RESULT
'pkcon update' returns non-zero (error code: 5) if no packages are updated.
This is incorrect behaviour as this is not an error but a normal response.
Note: 'pkcon refresh' correctly returns 0 if no updates are applied to
repository caches.
EXPECTED RESULT
On any *NIX operating system a non-zero exit code indicates that some error
occurred.
No error has occurred in this instance, simply no updates to be applied (which
isn't an error)
A successfully executing command should return status code 0.
Therefore 'pkcon update' should return 0 as it is executing successfully even
if no packages are updated.
