@Julian I had considered that. This could be more easily done with "on_ac_power || return 1" - there is no need for full "if...then...fi".
But both those solutions would have different semantics than what the script _apparently_ intends to do: on_ac_power returns 0 on AC, 1 on battery and 255 if the power status cannot be determined. The current code of the script indicates that in this case /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily should be executed and _only_ be omitted if on_ac_power returns exactly 1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1742378 Title: Slight glitch in /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat Ubuntu 16.04.3 in apt-1.2.24 Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: I accidentally stumbled across this. If in line 22 on_ac_power returns a non zero exit code the next line is never reached. Instead, the shell terminates immediately with that non zero exit code because of "set -e" in line 3. In this script it does not pose a problem because the shell is asked to exit anyway if check_power() returns non zero but it works differently than is apparently intended (concluding from the logic). I will attach a suggest patch and a demo illustrating that the patch works as the original script seems to intend to.
