This section of Doc4 collects reports of the problems generated by faulty installations of software packages (RPMs). Problems during the installation of packages occur due to different reasons like missing package in the repository or broken dependencies. However, when a problem occur, the provider of the distribution is not automatically informed. To overcome this limitation, the Mancoosi European project defined a specific format for package installation problems report: the DUDF format - Distribution Upgrade Description Format.

About Mancoosi

The Mancoosi European project aims at developing tools for the system administrator. Two main avenues are pursued:

Develop mechanisms that provide for rollbacks of failed upgrade attempts, allowing the system administrator to revert the system to the state before the upgrade.

Develop better algorithms and tools to plan upgrade paths based on various information sources about software packages and on optimization criteria.


Mancoosi is a European research project in the Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission. The project is situated in the FP7 theme Information & Communication Technologies (ICT). The project has started February 1st, 2008, and will have a duration of 3 years.
