In slitaz-40, I can cancel a package removal by

echo N | tazpkg remove htop # Removal is cancelled.

In slitz-50, this doesn't work anymore.

bash-4.3# tazpkg remove htop Remove package "htop" (2.0.0)? (y/N) N
Uninstallation of package "htop" cancelled. bash-4.3# echo N | tazpkg remove htop
Removing package "htop" ================================================================================ Removing all files installed... [ Done ] Update system databases... [ Done ] Removing package receipt... [ Done ] ================================================================================ Package "htop" (2.0.0) removed.

Sorry, I see no point in this exercise.

http://hg.slitaz.org/tazpkg/file/d36dc9257f15/modules/remove#l125
TazPkg module 'remove' asks you for confirmation only [in interactive mode] and [option '--auto' is absent].
If you are not in interactive mode, then TazPkg believes you can't interactively answer to its questions and makes its own default decisions.
If option '--auto' is provided, it also skip the confirmations.

What are you REALLY want?
If you don't want to delete the package, you can just not to execute the command you share.

Basically, if a program can read from STDIN, then echo N | tazpkg remove ... often works. It works in slitaz-4.0, but not in slitaz-5.0.

As I understand, tazpkg assumes yes to all answers in non-interactive mode. But what if users want to assume no? Users can't answer to applications, but that doesn't mean they just want yes. In other package managers (Debian, Arch), users must provide --noconfirm option explicitly.

Please update "slitaz-base-files" package to version 309, as well as update "tazpkg" package to version 913.

Changesets:
- http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-base-files/rev/1dd292a4b72b
- http://hg.slitaz.org/tazpkg/rev/92509572ed28
.
Cooking logs with the download package option:
- http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=slitaz-base-files
- http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=tazpkg
As option, check your selected mirror here: http://mirror1.slitaz.org/check/
When your selected mirror will upgraded to at least 2016-07-22 07:07 (UTC), these new packages will be available on your selected mirror, and you would upgrade aforementioned packages in the usual way (tazpkg recharge/upgrade).

Now, wherever requested confirmation, you can use the option for automatic acknowledgment:
- --yes for positive answer;
- --noconfirm for negative answer.
