Basic assumption: Problems are caused by outdated packages. |
9 |
Underlying problem: In order to break a log-jam it is necessary to purge |
10 |
outdated packages. |
11 |
Facts on the ground: The only way to make ANY progress in updating |
12 |
outdated packages is to jackhammer the hell out of all packages in hopes |
13 |
that some of them might sucessfully update which will, hopefully either: |
14 |
|
15 |
A. allow other packages to sucessfully update |
16 |
B. Expose something that can be fixed. |
17 |

Once the logjam is broken, the system is then --emptytree world'ed and |
19 |
declared healthy... Expected failure rate is on the order of 0.3% of |
20 |
hopefully unimportant packages. |

It is known that the KDE group of packages has incomplete dependency |
23 |
graph because it is hopelessly convoluted, and it always causes problems |
24 |
and the only way to break through it is the jackhammer approach. |
25 |
|
26 |
LLVM and friends also fails to update when updating within a single slot |
27 |
and this is VERY annoying... |
28 |
|

What causes me to post to the list is when I get failures that prevent |
30 |
me from even beginning to jackhammer the system. |
