This causes spurious failures of uninstalled hooks. Also, there is a missing error exit, causing errors reported by the script to not exit. [Test case] For the first part, I cannot generate one. This was discovered by snapd ci, but I did not find a reproducer yet. FWIW, the change should be tiny enough to see that it is not wrong: - if (errno != ECONNRESET) + if (errno != ECONNRESET && errno != EPIPE) _error->Error("Could not read response to hello message from hook %s: %s", Opts->Value.c_str(), strerror(errno)); The missing error handling is the next lines: else if (strstr(line, "error") != nullptr) { _error->Error("Hook %s reported an error during hello: %s", Opts->Value.c_str(), line); + goto out; } that can be checked: sudo apt -o AptCli::Hooks::Install::="/usr/bin/printf '{error should be json}\n\n' >&3" install [Regression potential] JSON hooks failures with EPIPE are now ignored, so if it fails with EPIPE for other reasons than just exiting, I guess we might miss it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1814543/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
