Description Priyank 2009-07-17 07:06:30 UTC 
Overview:
pkcon returns exit status 0 even after when there is an error during installation/uninstallation/etc.

Steps to Reproduce:
On a debian system
touch /tmp/abc.deb
pkcon install /tmp/abc.deb

On a rpm system
touch /tmp/abc.rpm
pkcon install /tmp/abc.rpm

Actual Results:
Exit status is 0

Expected Results:
Exit status should be non-zero to indicate that PackageKit was not able to install the package.

Version:
PackageKit 0.3.6
OS: Ubuntu 8.10 
(But this is reproducible on most all the distributions that I tried)

    Fix the exit codes for pkcon and pkmon, and document them. Fixes fd#22819
