Damnit, it is even worse. The new selection list is gone. Now I have to
remember what the Hell I selected and do it yet again. IF it hangs yet
again, I am done until this gets fixed.
Not having a robust downloader and NOT saving the package list is just plain
bad. If anything, save the selection list and after an abort restart, tell
the user that there was a selection list from an aborted install and ask
"do you want to use it?"
I'm not happy. It has been a very long night and this I don't friggin' need.
