hi,

when i submit a single SQL command to psql (by -c), and this command
fails, the exit status of psql is 1 ($?).
but if i use the -f option to get the SQL commands from a file, and
these commands fail, the exit status is 0.
i think here the exit status should be >0.
i wanted to use psql in a script, that's why i came to this problem.

regards,
moritz

After all, the gzip package is called `gzip', not `libz-bin'...

James Troup <troup(at)debian(dot)org>:
Uh, probably because the gzip binary doesn't come from the
non-existent libz package or the existent zlib package.
