Let's say I previously had:
pkgx install java@17
Then later:
$ pkgx install java@11
pkgx: already installed: java (openjdk.org^17)
$ echo $?
0
Here is what I think:
-
pkgx install
should uninstall if previously installed and then install again the new version. Just likesudo apt-get install docker-ce-cli=5:25.0.3-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy
. -
If 1 is too hard to be implemented, the least pkgx should do is to return a non-zero code when another version of the package is already installed.
This happened in my CI/CD, where I ship an environment with pkgx install java@17
, but some services needed to use java@11
.
Their pipelines were configured to run pkgx install java@11
but since a succesful exit code was given, the application was still being built with java@17.
