[Rdiff-backup-bugs] [bug #9636] UpdateError, although ignorable, makes rdiff-backup return a non-0 return code

[Ben Escoto]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #9636 (project rdiff-backup):

I think I was unclear also in my response (and there was a typo).  The way it
is supposed to work (and the way it looks like it works) is that rdiff-backup
will return a zero value unless it exits abnormally.  So if you get an
UpdateError and the backup still completes, it will still exit with value 0.

However, if it exits with a fatal (non-recoverable) error, it will exit with
non-zero value.  So if you saw rdiff-backup exiting this way, perhaps there
was both an UpdateError and a fatal error.  It may have looked like the
update error was the cause, but really it was the fatal error.

So perhaps it already works the way you want it to?
