is dpkg install atomic?



Hi, 

This might be a dumb question:  is dpkg installing (or updating) a package using a .deb file atomic in the event of power outage? 

By atomic, I meant either the new version of the application is fully installed, or not at all.  Is this always guaranteed? 

I read the `man dpkg` doc, but couldn't find a clear answer. I might have missed it though.

Thanks,
Han
