Description Philipp Hahn

2017-07-24 15:08:32 CEST

If the update is aborted by the "preup.sh" script, multiple error/warning messages are printed:
> WARNING: You are logged in using SSH -- this may interrupt the update and result in an inconsistent system!
> Please log in under the console or re-run with "--ignoressh" to ignore it.
> Error: Please check "/var/log/univention/updater.log" for details.
> ERROR: update failed. Please check /var/log/univention/updater.log

Similar:
> ERROR: Found running QEMU virtual machines
...
> Error: Please check "/var/log/univention/updater.log" for details.
> ERROR: update failed. Please check /var/log/univention/updater.log

And from <https://help.univention.com/t/qemu-verhindert-upgrade/6177>:
> ERROR: Found QEMU virtual machines using old machines
...
> Error: Update aborted by pre-update script of release 4.2-0


Those multiple and nested "Error" messages are confusing the user.
Especially the first case, where a "Warning" is also fatal.
