What I think is happening here is that when a newer time code is found, the program returns, but only to one level up, where the next code line tells it to return false (i.e. the time code was not newer). But perhaps I misinterpreted (s'cuse the pun ) the code.

amprolla_update.py#L22-36 simplified:

$ cat asdds.py 
def left_is_bigger(left, right):

    if left > right:
        print('%d > %d' % (left,right))
        return True

    print('%d <= %d' % (left,right))
    return False

left_is_bigger(1337, 42)
left_is_bigger(42, 1337)
$ python3 asdds.py 
1337 > 42
42 <= 1337

return does not leave indentation levels, it leaves the function.

(from https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastru … _update.py)

if get_time(rem_date) > get_time(loc_date):
        info('Remote Release is newer!')
        return True

    return False

HTH!

There are some other ideas here:

But the real issue is somewhere here:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/amprolla3

It seems that the internet connection to the devuan server was terminated.

On the issue from 6/17, the same massive 404 messages from debian, but no internet disconnection message.

That's all I can see from that.  Does that make any sense to anyone?
