Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
since 2009.03.12 my cron-apt installation sends email-reports each time it runs.
the MAILON parameter has no effect on this behaviour.
i found that aptitude changed it's successfull exitcode from 0 to 255,
this causes cron-apt to allways take the result as error and send an email.
i changed line 355
from: if [ $RET -ne 0 ]; then
to: if [ $RET -ne 0 -a $RET -ne 255 ]; then
this fixed the problem for me.
additionally i found that in line 461 cron-apt sends an additional email
insteat of logging to syslog.

Hi Ola,
thanks for your reply.
You are welcome. :-)
i think you're right the problem is on the aptitude side!
with apt-get everything looks fine.
Ok, good to know.
for the moment i will keep my "fix"
Ok.
and file a bugreport on aptitude
with the additional question for a proper documentation of the aptitude
return-codes.
Thanks for your help on this.
For your information I have uploaded a new version with the other
problem you found. It should be available in sid today.
Is it ok if I close this bug now?
Best regards,
// Ola
thanks boris

That must be a bug in aptitude!

Yes that is a nice workaround. However I really think that aptitude
should
have a decent exit code. Could you file a bug report about that on
aptitude?
Do apt-get have the same problem?
additionally i found that in line 461 cron-apt sends an additional
email insteat of logging to syslog.
This was a real bug in cron-apt. Fixed now.
