Personal insults aren't going to solve the problem.
It might be that it works if the Single Correct Upgrade Procedure is
followed. But this is a very specific and narrow case that does not
happen on many systems.
Who would update a system that is about to be upgraded to a new release?
Doesn't the upgrade process ever break?
What should people without a gui (on server/remote systems) do?
I guess the change is too fast. Ideally a change that causes such
serious breakage should be done in two steps. First make the evms
package obsolete, and give it some time to disappear. But it can
disappear only if the update tools do show it as obsolete package that
should be removed.
Then it would be safe to remove the kernel patches.
As a fixup when we are already in trouble it would be desirable to
release an updated evms package in Gutsy which would refuse to start
whatever evms does if the configuration is broken.
