You should probably use an API for that (like python-apt), rather than the command-line tools. We will have to rework error handling if we ever want to retry automatic updates on failures, but it's not entirely clear how this will happen yet.
In any case, I do consider an update where not all repositories were updated a success. But I think some repository should update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693900 Title: apt-get update should return exit code != 0 on error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1693900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
