The main issue is that the packagemanager GUI is currently divergent in code from the cli. As such, you don't have the safety net of the boot environments that the cli provides you. If you use the cli, you'll get a boot environment created so you could have safely recovered from this scenario. It is unfortunate that you ran into this issue, but please note that this will be addressed in the gui soon.
