Summary

The change in 33bd05c3187d7b49c80cf1b0132b405c105d0833 was incomplete
because it did not mark "cron" as ISFETCHED=1 although it performs the
same operations as "install", but less output and does not perform a
hard exit. Mark result as such and make "install" know that updates have
been fetched.

Unless someone says that one should never do "cron install" in one go in a cronjob...

Fine with me. Installing updates from cron isn't particularly recommended, but there may be cases where it is appropriate.
