Well if we forget about the backup problem which is my problem and concentrate on the *real* problem...
There is no way of knowing if the rpm's are good until such time as the install/upgrade borks. Once you get to this stage, what is the correct way to continue the upgrade without the installer trashing your data?
I think the installer should check the rpm before starting the upgrade, especially if this is a one way street.
Also, it needs to be much cleverer in detecting a existing install rather than (i guess) checking if the rpm's are already installed! |
