alpine 中的双 ambersand 运算符未按预期工作

Question

The following script

#!/bin/sh -e


wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub
wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.32-r0/glibc-2.32-r0.apk
apk add glibc-2.32-r0.apk && rm glibc-2.32-r0.apk
sleep 1

run on an alpine:3.16 image succeeds, while there is definitely an error in the apk add glibc-2.32-r0.apk command.

Why isn't the && operator in the following line

apk add glibc-2.32-r0.apk && rm glibc-2.32-r0.apk

work as expected?

Answer 1

Because the shell can't distinguish between a 1 returned because of a failure and a 1 returned to successfully indicate false , any case where you're branching on a command disables set -e behavior for the duration of that command.

Thus, because the && rm glibc-2.32-r0.apk happens conditionally on whether the apk command succeeds, that apk command is "checked", so set -e does not apply for it; the sleep at the last line is executed, and its exit status (of 0) is returned for the script as a whole.
