Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 sridhar]:
 > yum-complete-transaction won't rescue the RPM if the installation was
 aborted when %post scripts are being executed. As far as the rpmdb is
 concerned, all the files are there. We need to be careful when creating
 RPMs to not rely too much on %post scripts, or have them short enough to
 minimise the chance of their execution being interrupted.

 In fact, we might miss bunch of possible installation related issues. But
 not sure if it worth trying to solve all of them that might be
 reproducible in testing environment (since the picture w/ installed rpms
 should be the same on all of XOs, excluding cases when people attached new
 repositories and installed new packages manually).
 (For the dbus related issues in sugar-client itself, it should return true
 for now, since dbus call is not critical in its %post).

 > Also, we should inhibit system suspend while RPMs are being installed.

 I've created #3279. And closing this one since it was originally only
 about using yum-complete-transaction and it was fixed in SSK-1.1.
