+ Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the

+ <p>
+ A new test utility for testing appup files is added to

+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c><anno>InvalidAppFile</anno></c></tag>

+ <seealso marker="kernel:app#runtime_dependencies">runtime
+ dependencies</seealso>. The second element identifies the
+ application (with version) that has missing dependencies.
+ The third element contains the missing dependencies.</p>
+ <p>Note that this check use application versions that
+ are loaded, or will be loaded when used. You might have
+ application versions that satisfies all dependencies
+ installed in the system, but if those are not loaded this
+ check will fail. The system will of course also fail when
+ used like this. This may happen when you have multiple

+ <p>Currently the sanity check is limited to verifying
+ runtime dependencies found in the <c>.app</c> files of
+ all applications. More checks will be introduced in the
+ future. This implies that the return type <em>will</em>
+ change in the future.</p>
+ <note><p>An <c>ok</c> return value only means that
