well ya i agree with u ,.... i had this in mind , because once we erase the package, the system may become inconsistent , degrading the whole idea behind having the rollback functionality . so any further suggestions ?
and ya Fajar, i actually was reluctant to use yum in my first implementations of the scripts , but didn't think of a better method given my low knowledge, ..... actually using storage and providing backup and recovery was a option i already had, .... but my point was to design it to be very simple to use and a very 'swift' application ........
Thanks

done by scriptlets in RPM, so it is not posible to do downgrade in a
safeway.
EX.
rpm -ivh foo
rpm -e foo
these commands add a package and remove it again.
the state of the system might not be the same before and after these
commands, so a safe rollback is not possible.
