Description

Currently the webconsole (4.2.18) when updating a bundle through the UI/HTTP API will update the bundle and then (optionally) issue a package refresh, leading to 2 restarts of the bundle in question.

When a bundle has many dependents, and many components/services are involved, that early restart interferes with currently shutting down components that will start again (in our case up to 45 times!).

Apparently it might be more efficient to do stop the bundle first, then update, refresh and start.
