This is by no means an important bug, but the update script on Linux says:
Update complete; please reboot for changes to take effect.
even if the update failed. (As mine did, because I had some custom
RPMs). As far as I can tell, there's no need for a reboot if the
update failed.
Looking at /afs/athena/system/rhlinux/control/update reveals that
this happens because the
if [ -n "$auto" ]; then
block at the end has no way of knowing whether the update failed.
Like I said, it's not terribly important, since most people doing
manually updates are clueful enough to parse the output correctly,
but I thought I'd point it out...
