Setting up Local Package Process Cannot open: *.rpm. Skipping. Nothing to do # echo $? 0 No *.rpm packages present in the directory where yum was executed but the return code is still 0 (success). A test case which uses the above command was returning false positives because of that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.29-22.el6.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir /tmp/empty-dir 2. cd /tmp/empty-dir 2. yum localinstall *.rpm 3. echo $? Actual results: 0 Expected results: 1 Additional info:
I'm going to NAK this because it's annoyingly non-trivial, and the localinstall command is deprecated. The problem is that when we fail in the "install" command (the only one IIRC), we distinguish between "nothing installed because it's already installed" which is exit 0 ... and "nothing installed because we tried and failed" which is exit 1. Adding this logic to localinstall isn't that easy, as we'd need to keep track of why it "didn't install", and: yum install ./*.rpm ...should already work fine.
