core_install.sh should check for dependent packages about n7nix HOT 3 CLOSED

core_install.sh has a function, is_pkg_installed() that uses dpkg-query to check status of a package. All required packages are verified for installation.

You have a typo on line 8. UPDDATE_NOW is mis-spelled. Also, there does not appear to be any way for UPDATE_NOW to become true.

Thanks. Checked in fix.
UPDATE_NOW was originally used for development.
I use it to disable apt-get update/upgrade.
Since it was undefined:

if [ "$UPDATE_NOW" = "true" ] ; then

worked the way I wanted.

apt-get update then upgrade takes a long time & I didn't want those
long processes to be executed from the script. My intention is that
those commands should be done outside the script so that it's easier
to see any problems. I left the apt-get update/upgrade in the script for reference.
