no - just stdout/stderr

On the other hand, rpm and dpkg build tools can redirect things as well.

The exit code is inverted: it is true if nonzero, which could be
-1 or some number greater than zero (the latter would indicate some
input happening, though which of the cases is hard to tell).

The ret==0 that was noted before would make the test succeed.

I've modified the test to fix the two issues that I could see,
and made rpm/dpkg scripts which did fail, but now work with the
changed test.
