Description of problem: If you schedule patch install and patchadd fails when rhn_check is run, it's still considered a success. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Schedule a patch install that you know will fail. 2. Run rhn_check -vvv 3. Watch the patchadd command fail, but still get counted as a successful install. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Fixed in SVN. Test Plan: 1. Schedule a patch install that you know will fail. For instance, schedule a patch install for a program that isn't installed on the client machine, or try to use a Solaris 9 patch on a Solaris 8 machine. 2. On the client, run rhn_check -vvv. 3. The patchadd command should fail, the rhncheck command should say that it failed, and the webui should report the action as failed.
yep, PROD_READY
The webUI correctly reports failure, but the rhn_check doesn't give any indication that the installation failed unless you run it with -vvv That will be opened as a separate bug against rhn410-solaris.
