Ouch, this is ugly. Why not using -Syy?
Are you really critiquing a bisect script? I don't know why I'm giving the time of day to this, but I'll bite.
Should I next time just ask, without stating the reason I ask? ;-)
This script was designed to find the problem that occurred *only* on -Syu and not -Su. Thus, a -Syy followed by and -Syu (which would update zero databases) would not trigger the problem.
I just thought -Syyu would work in that case, and wondered if there is a reason for doing so (read: learn from you as I suspected you know something that may be interesting).
Ahh, and I forgot to mention that the core .lastupdate was not deleted. This was a key part of the equation if I remember right because of interactions with packages also in testing. -Dan
