Package: apt
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: minor
In case of some network issue which prevent updating package indexes,
"apt(-get) update" will sometime exit with code 0 and warning message,
and sometime with exit code 100 and an error message.
I don't really mind if it's a warning or an error in the end (for my use
case, it's an error, but I can grep for the warning message and treat it
as an error myself), but this slight inconsistency in the exit code
sounds like a (minor) bug.
Here is my test case: I build an up-to-date Debian Sid Docker image,
which includes apt 2.0.0, and I run it with the network interface turned
off.
Depending on the specific $http_proxy value I pass, "apt-get update"
will exit either 0 or 100.
$ cat Dockerfile
FROM debian:sid
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade -V
$ docker build -t debian:sid-apt-2.0 .
$ docker run --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -i \
-e http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:1234 \
debian:sid-apt-2.0 \
<<<'ip link set eth0 down ; apt-get update ; echo $?'
