[Pkgutil-users] Questions in non-interactive mode

[Mark R B. <ma...@pr...>]

If you're trying to run pkgutil in non-interactive mode (i.e. pkgutil
-yi something), if a package fails to be installed properly, rather
than exiting with a non-zero exit status, pkgutil prompts "Exit from
pkgutil and fix this issue first (recommended?) [Y,n]" and waits for
stdin. 

	This is no good for when software is being installed via an
automated process.  We really need pkgutil to support a proper
non-interactive mode when no questions will ever be asked. 

	Thanks,
 Mark Bannister.
