Though there should be a better patch/updating system for GNU/Linux software farmers, One can not fore a system to update of cause malfunction in the program without prior notification to the SYSOP, further more only the SYSOP should initiate the patching/updating proces.
Good thing about this article is, that it points out that the current package management systems are inadequat to handle decent updates.
Keep posting more on this subject, interresting stuf ;-).
Many thanks,
