Hello,
I've written a simple script to make my life easier, but there is a problem with
that script and I can't figure out the source of that problem.
if [ "$variables" != "" ]; then
echo "portupgrade -m '$variables' $progname"
(portupgrade -m \'$variables\' $progname)
else
echo "portupgrade $progname"
(portupgrade $progname)
fi
The problem is simple. Whenever this script confronts a program which needs to be
upgraded, portupgrade removes the old version and then script terminates without any
error messages, while several instances of bash and linker continue to run in the
background for several seconds, and then also terminate. The new version of the
program never gets installed. What I can't understand is the reason why the script
terminates without any error messages while it still has several cycle to go. It
doesn't terminate if there aren't any programs that need to be upgraded (portupgrade
simply responds with the message that there is nothing to upgrade), and goes through
the same cycles without spitting out any error messages. My guess is that something
weird happens when portupgrade starts to install the upgraded version of the removed
program, but I have no idea what exactly that is. I'd be more than thankful if you
could point out the place where I do something in a wrong way. I also have attached a
full version of that script, in case if you want to take a look at it.
Thanks
