 In pbulk-0.17 - no. ( Yet? :-) )
 
 The following is documented:
 EXIT STATUS
      pbulk-resolve exits with return value 1 if an error occurred, or
      0 if all depen- dencies have been resolved successfully.  In
      incremental mode, missing contains all correct, but unresolvable
      dependencies.
