Hi,
I'm using yum for keeping all my machines properly installed. Unfortunately I
occasionally makes mistakes and asks yum to install packages that does not
exist, this gives printouts like (with enough verbosity enabled):
No package misspelled_package_name available.
but the exit status from yum is unfortunately 0, so there is no way to find this
out from a script. I humbly suggest something like:
--- cli.py~ 2007-12-05 23:27:40.000000000 +0100
+++ cli.py 2008-04-23 16:24:48.000000000 +0200
