Package: apt-file Version: 3.0 Severity: wishlist I would like apt-file to return failure/errors when apt-helper or other subprocesses are killed or fail. Currently it returns success:
pabs@chianamo ~ $ sh -c 'while ! killall apt-helper 2> /dev/null ; do true ; done' & apt-file search --regex "bin/.*(lint|check|valid|tidy|detect)" ; echo apt-file returned $? [1] 9125 xargs: /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper: terminated by signal 15 Command xargs -0r /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper cat-file exited with code 125 at /usr/bin/apt-file line 234. A subprocess exited uncleanly (raw: 32000) - result may be incomplete at /usr/bin/apt-file line 276. fgetty: /bin/checkpassword.login xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse: /bin/vmmouse_detect [1]+ Done sh -c 'while ! killall apt-helper 2> /dev/null ; do true ; done' apt-file returned 0 I am comparing the apt-file output from day to day for CATS related binaries and today I had to terminate the cron job for this. As a result the file where I cache apt-file results was replaced with apt-file error output and the diff between days was huge. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (900, 'testing-debug'), (900, 'testing'), (860, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (800, 'unstable-debug'), (800, 'unstable'), (790, 'buildd-unstable'), (700, 'experimental-debug'), (700, 'experimental'), (690, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt-file depends on: ii apt 1.2.12 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b5 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.413-1+b1 ii libregexp-assemble-perl 0.36-1 ii perl 5.22.2-1 apt-file recommends no packages. apt-file suggests no packages. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
