Currently, SoftwareUpdater uses the same logic as pkgman update
- i.e. it will not try to uninstall existing packages.
However, from time to time some packages become obsolete and they are required to be uninstalled like what happened recently with ilmbase
.
This led to a situation where haiku package couldn't be updated and unsuspecting users don't understand why SoftwareUpdater stopped packages.
If possible SoftwareUpdater should detect this situation (when there is an update for haiku_loader
package but not for haiku
) and offer retrying in full-sync mode.
pkgman update
could also at least warn the user about this situation.
