This is not true, package manager like dpkg are trying very very hard to make things atomic where they have to be and allow recovery from any kind of interruption.

Note that what you write would imply that package management must not ever be used on OpenEmbedded/Yocto devices. If there is any potential problem, it would equally apply to the situation where you are upgrading just one package for a security update. > HTH, > Chris cu Adrian
