Hello,
I suppose the issue you had with the order was on DM-5.4.2-PATH-HF05.

In Nuxeo 5.4.2, uninstalling hotfixes is not an easy task.
/>
The easier solution would be to replace the whole Nuxeo directory with a clean one. Reusing the same configuration, same data directory, same database, will ensure the "new" Nuxeo to keep your existing data.

If you prefer trying to repair your current install, we need to know the following (use something like http://friendpaste.com/ to share the listings):
- content of ${nuxeo.data.dir}/packages/.packages file
- listing of $NUXEO_HOME/nxserver/bundles/ directory
About your other questions:
- Nuxeo 5.5 comes with a lot of improvements, including a quick install of all hotfixes, automatically taking care of the other dependencies and their respective order, in the state-of-the-art 🙂
- You will have to restart only once.
- Nuxeo 5.5 provides management of packages out of Nuxeo, allowing easy uninstall in such a case.
- Restart of the server is sometimes required because of some Nuxeo Framework technical constraints, but, most of the time, the restart is only required under Windows because of its file locking behavior. Using Linux or Mac, restart is not required so often.
