Well, you did {{{sage -f ...}}} ...
A well written command like {{{rm}}} exits with a zero status if you use
{{{-f}}}:
{{{
#!sh
l...@quadriga:~/Sage/spkgs/mpir-2.1.1$ rm -f non-existent-package ; echo
$?
0
}}}
I wonder what Sage returns if you do {{{sage -i ...}}} instead... ;-)
Btw, {{{sage-spkg}}} has lots of other flaws. I'm considering writing (and
using) my own version, since I doubt the bunch of changes I aim at would
get merged soon... (Same for the top-level Makefile, which by the way was
named {{{makefile}}}, I guess by some DOS programmer.)
Hopefully not too many people read our tickets... :D
