I would hardly consider it redundant information that it failed and we try to go back to the original image. That is an error in itself, even though rolling back is better than abort()ing. If qerror_report() is a fatal situation, that is problematic. Then we need qerror_warn() or something as well, which can return non fatal information. The printfs are very valuable for the human monitor, but it isn't really clear to me what is the ideal return value. Cheers, Jes
