Well, in the case of failing dependencies, it seems like any choice at the prompt gives a 0 return value. Is the rationale that 'aptitude managed to abort successfully' equals success? If that is the intended functionality, then I cannot trust aptitude to give any meaningful return value.
And as far as I can see, the bug you refer to only concerns failing to install a specified version. At least that's what it patches. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919216 Title: aptitude returns 0 exit status code even if the requested action is not successful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/919216/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
