Description Alex Orange 2019-05-13 01:07:08 UTC

Using etc-update --automode -9 doesn't work because the config vars are pulled from /etc/etc-update.conf AFTER the command arguments are parsed thereby setting rf_opts to "-i" and making the -9 flag unusable from the command line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "YES" | etc-update --automode -9
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Goes about the interactive process of removal (ala -7)

Expected Results:  
Doesn't ask permission and just throws everything away.
