Transactional apt would be a great step towards an ever more stable Debian: in my experience, apt breakage happens rather easily: just interrupt apt-get when unpacking or configuring anything. Not a problem for sysops (though transactional apt would probably mean something), but regular desktop users don't open a terminal and issue the commands to fix the problem: their system can't update anymore and they can't install anything.
I've posted a topic on how I transparently fix apt when needed (viewtopic.php?t=161491), but this is not a cross-post! Here I'd like to discuss if apt can evolve to be transactional. Is it as good an idea as I think? Would it be easy to achieve? I can't find anything relevant anywhere about this.
