    Why would you expect the general case to go wrong? Of course an error is the exception. Cars don’t have seatbelts and airbags for general driving operation. They are there for the exceptional case something goes wrong. Most people will never need them in their life.

      I don’t see how this contradicts my statement. You can’t make a general comparison between specimina of anything if one of your samples is broken.

        What are you on about? You wanted to know what could go wrong during package install. I listed possibilities. You can’t just dismiss them as exceptional when the whole point of the snapshots is to guard against exceptional failures.
