loadFSPackages: do not ignore errors from addPkg#75
Merged
Conversation
loadFSPackages is currently ignoring errors returned by addPkg. This results in a very bad outcome: firmware images that are missing commands. For example, if you corrupt, e.g., date, u-root will still build a firmware image with date missing. This has, in turn, resulted in the creation of broken images (found in the wild for those of us using cpu). There is now a test in u-root specifically for the case that this error is ignored (u-root/u-root#2451) and this fix makes that new test work, where it does not pass currently.
