That will solely depend on your "world". Note that there might be some |
| 10 |
packages for which there's a _slotted_ new version wich gets installed |
| 11 |
at some upgrade points. A new slot means one more concurrent copy of the |
| 12 |
application in question -- e.g. gcc, which can get big! |

What do you mean by "mangled"? Of course, logging might stop at some |
| 18 |
point and some programs won't likely start at all. But there aren't |
| 19 |
files deleted or stuff like that... |
