There are a lot of ways to break your system. Should aptdaemon deal with all of them in end? There are also people removing essential system files that break APT completely. What kind of error should we show? We could introduce a new ERROR_SYSTEM_BROKEN which informs the user that there is a serious problem with the system from which we cannot recover. The "/tmp is read only" message would be shown in the details only. Perhaps we could add links to support entry points?
