Enhancement : Make update errors less prominent for apps that are not installed

Open philclifford opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

As noted by @kupiqu in #962 overly noisy reports of errors to users regarding apps that they have not installed can be annoying or confusing.

A possible solution would be to add some sort of "verbose" flag and silence these errors except where the package is installed OR the update is requested to be "verbose".

I think this would probably be the best way to go with this as it would hopefully be able to be done in a way that would also solve #757 by only needing to check for things that are required/requested by the user.
