Bileto device-upgrade reboots device even when no packages could be installed

Hi, please try out this version of the script and let me know if it works for you:

If so, let me know and I'll release it.

Thanks.

hi Robert, would that not reboot even when the system upgrades some packages which are however not coming from the PPA?

i.e. PPA has nothing, but apt dist-upgrade still finds new packages from the archives so upgrades those and the phone reboots

Indeed. I've updated it to check that something was downloaded from the PPA, can you please confirm it works? Try this:

1. Run the script on a new ticket, confirm packages install and device reboots
2. Run the script a second time on the same ticket, confirm that no update and no reboot happens.

Thanks.

Ok I've pushed some changes that introduce the following behavior:

1. Before upgrading anything, it makes a list of all packages installed from the PPA to be installed, including versions.

2. It attempts to do the upgrade, which may fail for whatever reason (binaries not published yet, or maybe it succeeds but there was nothing to install anyway)

3. It then makes a new list of all packages + versions installed from that PPA,

4. It diffs those two lists and only reboots if a difference was found.

Please try the steps in comment #3 with the script in comment #1 and let me know if that works for you.

Here is the output of the tests you requested :)

1st: Install a valid silo (1938 in this case). The phone rebooted as expected.

Please find the output of the command attached

2nd: install silo 1938 again

Result: no reboot

Please find the log attached

3rd: try installing the silo without network access

Result: no reboot

Please find the log attached

Ok, this fix is released, I don't have permission to close the bug though.
