For example, if I escape to a shell during set extraction by typing
control-z, manually kill the gzip -dc process, and exit the shell,
sysinst appears to continue like nothing happened and says all sets
extracted successfully. Can you reproduce this?
Sounds plausible to me. A simpler reproducer is:
$ cat | head
and in another shell:
$ pkill cat
After that, the pipeline 'cat | head' has exit status 0. If I remember
correctly, progress(1) feeds tar(1), via a pipeline, so that may be the
same scenario. In my example the exit status is 0 because head(1) calls
read(2), which returns 0 without any error, and that is of course
interpreted as EOF.
