I see I can write trivial one line script or use gtkpacman or update whole system, but I think it is wrong when "pacman -Sy openssl db" breaks system.
before the upgrade you can't run ldd or other tools to determine if there will be problems or not. so what pacman could do is to check the system after an upgrade and print out what's broken, so that you'll know right after the upgrade, not when you want to start a particular application but still, that "trivial oneliner" would be interesting, for example it's normal that ldd reports several apps as broken as long as they have a wrapper script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and of course it's not allowed to hardwirte them in a oneliner.. :) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
