Bug#823193: how-can-i-help: option to return failure on network errors
tags 823193 + pending thanks Hey, I've added a new option to ignore errors that is accessible by using '--apt' option. From now on, it is the default option for the apt hook. When running without this option, almost every ([1]) error will return appropriate exit code. [1] Import errors and option parse errors will still return 0, so that we don't break apt (we don't know yet if we are getting called by apt hook or not). Regards and thanks for the report, T. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#823193: how-can-i-help: option to return failure on network errors
Package: how-can-i-help Severity: wishlist I'm running how-can-i-help from cron and diffing the results. When network is down, how-can-i-help can't access UDD and I end up diffing the usual results with an error message because the error is printed but the command doesn't return an error due to #747490. I would like how-can-i-help to either ignore errors only when run from apt/dpkg, or have an option to not ignore errors. Personally I think there should be a new option to ignore errors and the apt/dpkg config should use it. This is what #747490 asked for. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
