--uncurse
Reverts back to the last known good state. This
state is set when upgrading by using --curse instead
of --upgrade.

entirely new Manifest. --curse is recommended when
performing distribution updates; read the manpage
for why.

transactions.
--deploy
Builds installation media or a virtual machine of the
Appliance. You will need --method and --manifest for
this option.

distribution media based on what you have in your
local system. You probably do not want that.
--manifest [manifest]
Selects the Manifest to perform transactions on.

of --deploy. Available methods are:
xen: Builds a Xen domain.
vmx: Builds a VMware image.

of packages in the Appliance Manifest.
System manifest is: com.ubuntu.release.hardy
