Package Manager returns 0 instead of -125071 when reboot is needed.When run in GUI mode, Package Manager returns 0 when an installation completes successfully, regardless of whether a reboot is needed. The correct behavior is to return a code -125071 when a reboot is needed. NIPM in CLI mode already returns this code correctly.

libcurl uses proxy environment variables when no explicit proxy is setWhen Package Manager determines that no proxy server is required for a given URL, it does not configure a proxy for use by libcurl. When no explicit PROXY setting is set, curl checks for an environment variable containing a proxy server to use. This can lead to failed connections when an incorrect environment variable is present.
Workaround: There is currently no known workaround for this issue. |
