imei isn't aware of conflicts during dependency installation and incorrectly displays that dependency installation is complete

🚀 Feature

imei should fail out when there is an apt install failure with a dump of the previous command stdout

Another option is to search for the installed packages from the output of apt list --installed

Pitch

imei isn't aware of conflicts during dependency installation and incorrectly displays that dependency installation is complete

The result compile ends up not supporting many image types.

It would be useful to have imei either warn you or prompt you with "Looks like some dependencies are still missing. Would you like to continue with compile?"

What actually happens under the hood.

There is actually some kind of a check included and it was planned to let the step "Installing dependencies" fail, if anything goes wrong. Obviously, that doesn't work as expected. I'll try to find a solution.

Btw, it would be helpful, if you could attach the file /var/log/imei.log.

Well, according to the log, there was no problem during the installation of dependencies and even the Delegate library configuration (in the log) differs from the output of identify -version.

Could you please try executing /usr/local/bin/identify -version instead? Because the only thing that comes in my mind is, that IM is installed twice on the system.

[hparadiz]

It compiled fine both times. But the first time it didn't have access to most delegates (see first screenshot in my original post).

Now it shows this:

The second time it simply overwrote the first one. It's completely fine now.

So the log file isn't from the failed installation? In this case, I can't really reproduce, what exactly happened.

I'll close this issue then, but I'll keep an eye on it.

[hparadiz]

Just to be clear. It never failed to install or compile. It simply compiled without all the dependencies it needed. The real issue is that imei skips installing dependencies if apt says there was a conflict during dependency installation.

[SoftCreatR]

I understood that. But I can't reproduce this with the logs provided. There is a check included in IMEI that should prevent this kind of failure.
