Bug#740346: mh_installpom - will always exit non-zero if called with -n

[Matthew Vernon]

Package: maven-repo-helper
Version: 1.8.7
Severity: normal

Hi,

the -n "do nothing, print what would have been done" argument to
mh_installpom is mishandled. Specifically, what will happen is:

mh_cleanpom is called with -n [correct] once with --keep-pom-version
and once without.

source debian/.mh/pom.properties

This line will always fail, since mh_cleanpom -n will have done
nothing, so not created debian/.mh/pom.properties.

Indeed, if debian/.mh/pom.properties did exist, then mh_installpom
would continue on and try to install poms that it found in debian/.mh,
in violation of the "-n" argument which means it shouldn't do such a
thing.

Regards,

Matthew
