Hello Jens, or anyone else affected, Accepted apt into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/2.1.10ubuntu0.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy -- 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/1693900 Title: apt-get update should return exit code != 0 on error Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Xenial: New Status in apt source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in apt source package in Focal: Triaged Status in apt source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] There is no way for scripts to run apt update and be sure that it was entirely successful. We introduce a new flag, --error-mode=any that makes apt update also error out on transient errors. [Test plan] We have included a test in the test-suite in test-apt-update-failure-propagation that ensures that warnings become errors. [Where problems could occur] If there's an issue some warnings for transient errors could become errors, or worse I suppose it's possible but unlikely for errors to be reported as warnings... Since the new behavior is behind a flag, regression potential for existing scripts is low if there is no bug. [Original bug report] When running 'apt-get update' (e.g. on a container install post- install script), apt-get return with exit code 0, even so it wasn't able to "update" properly. E.g.: + apt-get update Err:1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com' Err:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' Err:3 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com' Reading package lists... Done W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com' W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'de.archive.ubuntu.com' W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/InRelease Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. It should be corrected to return useful exit code, so that scripts can take the appropriate actions ...
