What happens the the package management database ie. RPM, DPKG, other?
Do you use overloads with that or just one loadset per computer? If
you use over loads, it seems to me that the package mangement won't
work on the machines that have multiple loadsets applied because they
can't all make the db reflect their changes because it is all one
file. Am I wrong?
