Hi there,

I’m having problems identifying how  to successfully fail an install of a custom package in the postinst script.

 

I have a dummy postinst script that exits with non zero.

I would expect that, given that there was an error in the postinst script ipkg would not consider the installation a success.

However I’m experiencing different behavior.

 

Here is the example output:

postinst script returned status 2

ERROR: mypackage.postinst returned 2

Successfully terminated.

mypackage.ipk installed OK

 

Also, the package version gets updated in ipkg list.

I’ve tried return codes -1, 2 and 1.

 

What is the correct way of preventing the package from being installed if postinst fails?

 

Tnx
