Comment(by cscott):

 |Test Case|
 (a bit involved)
 Create a corrupt bundle, which python's ZipFile will still open.
 Truncating the file is not good enough: that will remove the zip's index
 and ZipFile will bail.  It has to be a problem which ZipFile won't catch,
 but causes 'unzip' to return a non-zero status code.  The best way is to
 open the bundle in a hex editor, page down a bit, and increment a single
 random byte by one.  Put this bundle in a place where the updater will
 find it.

 I've done these steps to create a Pippy-99.xo.  Add the activity group
 {{{
 http://dev.laptop.org/~cscott/bundles/pippy-test.html
 }}}
 to the software updater.

 Attempt to install this bundle with the bundle.  Previously, this would
 result in deletion of ~/Activities.   Now, only the corrupted Pippy bundle
 will be cleaned up.
