mpm --require=@listfile issue

[donovaly]

Many thanks for the great new feature of installing packages from a list in a file.
I tested this thoroughly and it works fine, except of this issue:

When I call
mpm --admin --verbose --require=@ListFile
and all packages in the list are already installed, the MPM program pops up at the end.
The popup should not happen because I use the feature for a command line application.

If at least one package is not yet installed, MPM installs it and correctly does not pop up at the end.

Maybe I use the wrong call since in
https://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/mpm.html
I don't see what is the difference between the --require=@ListFile and the --install=@ListFile call.

By the way, the MiKTeX docs state "revision 2.9.6360":
https://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/
while the --require call was implemented around revision 6500.

Hello edocevoli, we just released a new major LyX version and I get a lot of feedback because of this issue. Since you already fixed it, could you maybe build a new basic-miktex installer that includes the fix?

This would be very nice because I can then use this miktex installer together with LyX and the users are happy.

This is now fixed with the new basic-miktex installer. Many thanks.
