Bug 900884 has been marked as duplicate of this one, but let's NOT
confuse two very different issues:

ONE THING is you try to upgrade, something goes wrong, and you decide
not to retry immediately. Later, you should be able to resume the
process. I think this is what was addressed in this report

ANOTHER THING is you try to upgrade, and you hit some very temporary
error such as a network failure while downloading packages: in this
case, the upgrade tool just gives an error message and exit. Instead, it
should give an option to retry, without restarting from scratch. I mean
like when you are copying a bunch of files and one fails: you are always
given the option to retry or skip. Here skipping doesn't make sense, but
retrying does. THIS is what 900884 was about.

I'm talking about a release upgrade (it's not clear if this was the case
for the original report).

By the way, importance "wishlist" is ridiculous. Having to abort a
procedure just because of a minor temporary failure like a network
failure is unacceptable.
