Initially the plan shows all packages as Absent and not cached. After the supposed-rollback, I launched another install and then immediately cancelled to see what the log showed the state to be. In the example below, A and B are shown as present, while C D and E are all absent. All packages are reported as cached.
Is there something I should be doing with the RollbackBoundary element to get the desired behavior? I played around with it a bit but didn't get what I wanted.
