OK, so what about adding a note like this:
Note: Systems in an inconsistent state
While the package manager must not be the primary cause for breaking a
system (unbootable, invalid internal structures, etc), it doesn't have to
'''prevent''' these events from happening. So if there's e.g.
a power
outage during its operation or a package with harmful scriptlets is
installed, which breaks the system, this is not the fault of the package
manager and the criteria above are not considered violated. Similarly, when
the package manager operates on an already broken system (e.g. with an
inconsistent rpm database), the correct behavior cannot be guaranteed, and
therefore the criteria also don't apply.
That sounds fine to me. Lukas' is shorter, but yours to me is clearer
about the purpose of the note, so I like it more. Thanks!
