Bug ID: 468059 Summary: pkcon incorrect error response on update (no packages updated). Classification: KDE Neon Product: neon Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Other Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Packages User Edition Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org Reporter: joe.vaug...@gmail.com CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY KDE Neon 'pkcon update' command returns incorrect status/error code when nothing is installed/updated. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. sudo /usr/bin/pkcon refresh -p 2. sudo /usr/bin/pkcon update -yp OBSERVED RESULT 'pkcon update' returns non-zero (error code: 5) if no packages are updated. This is incorrect behaviour as this is not an error but a normal response. Note: 'pkcon refresh' correctly returns 0 if no updates are applied to repository caches. EXPECTED RESULT On any *NIX operating system a non-zero exit code indicates that some error occurred. No error has occurred in this instance, simply no updates to be applied (which isn't an error) A successfully executing command should return status code 0. Therefore 'pkcon update' should return 0 as it is executing successfully even if no packages are updated.
