The man page for glsa-check suggests it will return an exit value of 6 if the system is affected by some GLSAs. That's not true when the verbose option is specified but is when it's not. The problem can be seen in the code following https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/tree/bin/glsa-check#n311 : if verbose: summarylist(outputlist) else: sys.stdout.write("\n".join(outputlist)+"\n") sys.exit(6) When verbose is set, there should be a call to sys.exit(6) after summarylist() is called. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait until at least one GLSA affects the system. 2. /usr/bin/glsa-check -v -t all 3. echo $? Actual Results: theall@rosemary:~>/usr/bin/glsa-check -v -t all This system is affected by the following GLSAs: [A] means this GLSA was marked as applied (injected), [U] means the system is not affected and [N] indicates that the system might be affected. 202004-06 [N] [local, remote] GnuTLS: DTLS protocol regression ( net-libs/gnutls-3.6.12 ) theall@rosemary:~>echo $? 0 Expected Results:
