From 65ce0eb3c0d71031c59c14c7e433b0b969548978 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 16:44:49 +0200 Subject: Keep going if a dep is bad for user requests to improve errors MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We exit early from installing dependencies of a package only if it is not a user request to avoid polluting the state with installs which might not be needed (or detrimental even) for alternative choices. We do continue with installing dependencies though if it is a user request as it will improve error reporting for apt and can even help aptitude not hang itself so much as we trim the problem space down for its resolver dealing with all the easy things. Similar things can be said about the testcase I have short-circuit previously… keep going test, do what you should do to report errors! --- test/integration/test-multiarch-allowed | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'test/integration/test-multiarch-allowed') diff --git a/test/integration/test-multiarch-allowed b/test/integration/test-multiarch-allowed index b74853993..167f0c584 100755 --- a/test/integration/test-multiarch-allowed +++ b/test/integration/test-multiarch-allowed @@ -72,7 +72,6 @@ The following packages have unmet dependencies: foo : Conflicts: foo:i386 but 1 is to be installed foo:i386 : Conflicts: foo but 1 is to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." aptget install needsfoo foo:i386 -s -exit solveableinsinglearch1() { testsuccessequal "Reading package lists... -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
