Description Diederik van der Boor 2004-11-19 02:23:48 UTC

I noticed "qpkg -l" doesn't complain if a package doesn't exist. Could you make qpkg display an error message instead?

It also appears qpkg doesn't return a different status code.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Note how the command returns imidiately, without displaying an error message, or returning a status code:
root@pts/2 root # qpkg -f foobar
root@pts/2 root # echo $?
0
root@pts/2 root #

qpkg is deprecated, I won't fix it anymore and will likely remove/replace it
after gentoolkit-0.2.0.
