Subject: apt: Leaves system unstable if some packages fail to install
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.3
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.12
Severity: important
Apt may left the system in a very unstable state if some packages fail
to install. For instance, it happened to me that bash was unpacked
but not configured, and /bin/sh was not there.
I think that it should try to configure and complete the installation
of as many packages as possible so that important packages do not
remain unconfigured.
