            Bug ID: 197748
           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg: ignores error conditions at exit time
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: portmgr at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jgoerzen at complete.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(portmgr at FreeBSD.org)

pkg reports certain errors, which scroll past, but does not provide an
indication when it exits that errors occurred.

The other day, I ran a pkg install which included nspluginwrapper.  Apparently
I should have first run kldload linux before running pkg install
nspluginwrapper, but I didn't.

I happened to be capturing the output of the session under script(1),
but the only reason I knew anything was amiss was that I happened to
glance at the screen at the right time.  I got errors like:

[132/681] Installing linux_base-c6-6.6_3...
sysctl: unknown oid 'compat.linux.osrelease': No such file or directory
linuxulator is not (kld)loaded, exiting
pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed

Extracting linux_base-c6-6.6_3: 100%

+++ Some programs may need linprocfs, please add it to /etc/fstab! +++

Running linux ldconfig...
ELF binary type "3" not known.
/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig: Exec format error

Extracting linux-c6-expat-2.0.1_1: 100%
ELF binary type "3" not known.
/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig: Exec format error
pkg: POST-INSTALL script failed

and so forth.  So all these pre-install and post-install scripts are
failing.  I assume this means the package isn't properly installed or
configured.  But:

# pkg install linux_base-c6
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The most recent version of packages are already installed

I believe that, when pkg exits, it ought to display something like:

"Errors were encountered while processing: linux_base-c6-6.6_3, foo, bar, baz"
and exit with a nonzero exit code, even if 200 packages came after those and
installed correctly.  Otherwise, a person will not know if their packages
failed unless they happen to glance at the screen at just the right time.

I originally reported this on a mailing list at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.questions/311852

I can provide a full typescript of the session if that would be helpful.  It is
on a brand-new 10.1-RELEASE installation.
