Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for software package update handling are provided. The method installs an initial set of software packages in a virtual environment. A package dependency graph is generated representing independent software packages and dependent software packages of the initial set of software packages. One or more software packages are updated with one or more updated software packages to generate a subsequent set of software packages. A compatibility check is performed on the subsequent set of software packages. The method generates an update prerequisite package based on the compatibility check.
