[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53984] pkg update - Unable to continue updating when a package error is found

[Renato]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #53984 (project octave):

If a package update fails for an specific package. It will kept in the same
version (not updated).

Example of interdependence:
Package A, current version 1.0
Package B, current version 1.0

Package A have an update (and result in an error when try to update to version
1.5)
Package B have an update and can be updated to version 2.0 with no problem.

So, after an "pkg update", we must have:
- Package A: not updated, kept at version 1.0
- Package B: updated to version 2.0

Today, it works not updating NOTHING.
Even packages not interdependent (Package C, Package D, etc) will NOT be
updated.

One more thing: today, the packages are updated by alphabetical order.
So, if you have two packages interdependent, one is Package "A" and other is
Package "Z", and both packages have an update, but a problem happens on the
Package "Z", we will have the Package "A" updated and Package "Z" not updated.
