2019-02-05private-json-hooks.cc: deal with EPIPEMichael Vogt
While running our CI we noticed that sometimes we see an error from the new json hooks code. The error message is: ``` E: Could not read response to hello message from hook [ ! -f /usr/bin/snap ] || /usr/bin/snap advise-snap --from-apt 2>/dev/null || true: Broken pipe ``` when purging the snapd package which provides the hook. This indicates that we should probably also consider EPIPE not an error (just like we do for ECONNRESET). This PR does exactly this. (cherry picked from commit 6af48a7f83540c807be1d2777470d23e6b260eb8) LP: #1814543
2018-06-27Handle JSON hooks that just close the file/exit and fix some other errorsJulian Andres Klode
JSON hooks might disappear and the common idiom to work around hooks disappearing is to check for the hook in the shell snippet that is in the apt.conf file and if it does not exist, do nothing. This caused APT to fail however, expecting it to acknowledge the handshake. Ignoring ECONNRESET on handshakes solves the problem. The error case, and the other error cases also did not stop execution of the hook, causing more errors to pile up. Fix this by directly going to the closing part of the code. LP: #1776218
2018-04-15Introduce experimental new hooks for command-line toolsJulian Andres Klode
This allows third-party package managers like snap or flatpak to hook in and suggest alternatives if packages could not be found, for example. This is still highly experimental and the protocol might change in future versions.
