Abstract
Managing an update of software modules of a layered filesystem installed for running a software application on a data processor. The management of an updated module includes: (i) contributing a back layer from a software module that likely has less stability than the updated module; and/or (ii) rebuilding a layer using a software module that likely has more stability than the updated layer.
