I am using apt-get in order to manage my local LAN, and i construct a
directory
with different packages i386.deb files.
the following command on my specific directory give.....
---------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] dpkg-scanpackages
/libre_2/package_debian/dists/stable/main /tmp/. ../..
dpkg-deb (subprocess): unexpected end of file in member data in
/libre_2/package_debian/dists/stable/main/nethack_3.2.3-3_i386.deb
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
Couldn't call dpkg-deb on
/libre_2/package_debian/dists/stable/main/nethack_3.2.3-3_i386.deb:
---------------
the problem is that the exit code is good ( $? = 0 ), and of course my
script wich used the
dpkg-scanpackages can not stop ...
if i use the dpkg-deb with my test file, i have the following
result...
---------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] dpkg-deb -I
/libre_2/package_debian/dists/stable/main/nethack_3.2.3-3_i386.deb;echo
$?
new debian package, version 2.0.
size 2920 bytes: control archive= 4412 bytes.
dpkg-deb (subprocess): unexpected end of file in member data in
/libre_2/package_debian/dists/stable/main/nethack_3.2.3-3_i386.deb
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
2
---------------
and this is normal because my package is broken.
Conclusion:
-----------
I suspect that in the apt-get utility, the exit code when using dpkg-deb
is not tested
best regards

apt-get does not call dpkg-deb. Your report is very nonsensical.
