Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.12
Severity: normal
Hello,
Apticron is launched with "bash -e", which makes it stop on errors.
The problem is that, if some apt source is unavailable, "apt-get
update" returns an non-zero status, and apticron stops without
checking for upgradable packages. But, there are maybe upgradable
packages from sources that did not fail.
I suggest to add "|| true" to the "apt-get update" command:
# update the package lists
/usr/bin/apt-get -qq update || true
Regards,
Arnaud
