Package: debian-goodies Version: 0.60 Severity: normal Hi,
When fetching a nonexisting package, debget silently fails:
------------------------------------------------------------
$ debget nonexistent-package
$
------------------------------------------------------------
There is code in /usr/bin/debget to print an error message, but it is
never reached due to the -e flag in "#!/bin/sh -e" header line.
Without -e:
------------------------------------------------------------
$ sh /usr/bin/debget nonexistent-package
ERROR: There is no 'nonexistent-package' package. Sorry.
If you believe the package exists then consider updating your.
package database using 'apt-get update'
------------------------------------------------------------
The relevant part of code is
------------------------------------------------------------
apt-get -q2 --print-uris --reinstall install "$pkgspec" 2>/dev/null
>/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
------------------------------------------------------------
Where the second line is, of course, never reached due to -e if the
apt-get command fails.
