Hi,

As we all know, 'make update' is not foolproof.  My main problem with it
is that if it fails, I'm left with a system in a very questionable
state, as some packages may have been removed but did not get
reinstalled.

Could we tweak the 'make update' target so that if it fails it writes
out to a file what's left to do, preferably so that one can simply do

sh pickup-make-update

?

-Jan
