Description

  1. InstallerPrerunChecker is a utility class that helps check the machine state and help decide whether product upgrade can be installed on the target machine.
  2. InstallerPrerunChecker, as the name implies is not supposed to change the state of the target machine, by mounting new gvfs repos or unmounting existing ones.
  3. The mount/re-mount methods used in InstallerPreRunChecker should be moved outside this class.

Research direction

Start by locating InstallerPreRunChecker and its mount/re-mount methods, then inspect their callers and the surrounding upgrade-installation flow. Move the state-changing repository operations outside the checker while preserving the upgrade decision checks; done means InstallerPreRunChecker no longer mounts or unmounts GVFS repositories.
