Public bug reported: [Impact] Dpkg::Post-Invoke is run only when dpkg had to be run. We'd like to be able to show some extra output even if no changes had been made. Imagine "the user disabled the security repo, and does not get any updates shown scenario" - we'd like to be able to tell them that there are security updates available after all.
[Test case] To be updated once the mechanism is in place, but basically perform an upgrade w/o changes, and make sure the specified hook runs at the end. [Regression potential] No-change upgrades/install can now fail if this new hooks fail. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: In Progress ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: In Progress ** Package changed: ubuntu => apt (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Disco) Status: New => In Progress -- 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/1815761 Title: Alternative to Dpkg::Post-Invoke that runs even if dpkg did not have to be invoked Status in apt package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in apt source package in Trusty: New Status in apt source package in Xenial: New Status in apt source package in Bionic: New Status in apt source package in Cosmic: New Status in apt source package in Disco: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] Dpkg::Post-Invoke is run only when dpkg had to be run.
