Dear all,

Recently, i'm writing a benchmark between APT and YUM, by default i
didn't know yum and know apt, i didn't find the following status in the
yum:
//////////////////////////////////////
  PACKAGE STATES
       not-installed
              The package is not installed on your system.

       config-files
              Only the configuration files of the package exist on the
system.

       half-installed
              The installation of the package has been started, but not
completed for some reason.

       unpacked
              The package is unpacked, but not configured.

       half-configured
              The package is unpacked and configuration has been
started, but not yet completed for some reason.

       triggers-awaited
              The package awaits trigger processing by another package.
