Subject: apt: exit-code 0 when apt-get update fails Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.6 Severity: normal
Hi, apt-get update still exits with an exit-code 0, even if it fails (i.e. due to network connection error). Is this a regression of an very old bug, #41053 ? from the changelog: apt (0.3.12) unstable; urgency=low ... * Error code on failed update. Closes: #41053 here's the output / exit code of a failed update: root@wheezy:~/puppet# apt-get update Err http://cdn.debian.net wheezy InRelease Err http://cdn.debian.net wheezy Release.gpg Unable to connect to cdn.debian.net:http: [IP: 137.226.34.42 80] Err http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates InRelease Err http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg Unable to connect to security.debian.org:http: [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] Reading package lists...
