It can happen, but it's not so likely as you think. The "write things to VDB" code doesn't do anything fancy, and we do writes to VDB in a separate -installing- directory anyway (to avoid having to special case reinstalls, not for any kind of safety). The easiest way to get VDB in an inconsistent state is to have a package die in pkg_prerm on an upgrade or reinstall... If that happens it's "fix it yourself by hand" time anyway. -- Ciaran McCreesh
