Package: apt-show-versions Version: 0.12 Severity: wishlist If you invoke apt-show-versions -u <package> on a package that has no available upgrade, there is no output and the exit code is zero. For example:
$ apt-show-versions -u ept-cache $ echo $? 0 It would be nice if this returned a non-zero exit code in this case (and a zero exit code if there *was* an upgrade available). Without one, you have to do this to generate one: $ apt-show-versions -u ept-cache | grep -q upgradable $ echo $? 1 Thanks for this tool, you simplified things greatly for me, Micah -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc7-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt-show-versions depends on: ii apt 0.7.10 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.21+b3 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl [libstorable-perl] 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction apt-show-versions recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
