Title:
  Slight glitch in /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat Ubuntu 16.04.3 in
  apt-1.2.24

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I accidentally stumbled across this. If in line 22 on_ac_power returns
  a non zero exit code the next line is never reached. Instead, the
  shell terminates immediately with that non zero exit code because of
  "set -e" in line 3. In this script it does not pose a problem because
  the shell is asked to exit anyway if check_power() returns non zero
  but it works differently than is apparently intended (concluding from
  the logic).

  I will attach a suggest patch and a demo illustrating that the patch
  works as the original script seems to intend to.
