If there's an issue some warnings for transient errors could become errors, or worse I suppose it's possible but unlikely for errors to be reported as warnings. We have included a test in the test-suite in test-apt- update- failure- propagation that ensures that warnings become errors.

We introduce a new flag, -error-on=any that makes apt update also error out on transient errors. usability-misc/apt-get-update-plus.8.There is no way for scripts to run apt update and be sure that it was entirely successful.usability-misc/apt-get-update-plus at master.This man page has been written by Patrick Schleizer GitHub - Kicksecure/usability-misc: Misc usability improvements Sudo apt_bin=apt-get-noninteractive apt-get-update-plus dist-upgrade -o Dpkg::Options::=-force-confold Sudo apt_bin=apt-get-noninteractive apt-get-update-plus dist-upgrade
