That's why I don't update. I backup anything important and do a fresh install. Saves me from headaches later on. My / partition is always around 10GB so it's that much easier to do it.
Updating during the development is mostly doable, but sometimes it is nessesary to do fresh installs for various reasons: testing installers, partitioners, get rid of broken installs, you name it. As for this particular update GM11.2 to Factory11.3, the clients can be tested, because we have had, and sometimes still have: "dependency hell''. And there has been a lot of work done to get the clients up to date, and there will be needed still more to get them 'master of update'. Zypper has been improved very much since the beginning, and becomes reliable and easy to use. I always have 2 installs i can use. atm a 11.1, and since few minutes 12, ehm... 11.3, so there is something to compute if factory builds don't build, break, or get otherwise disabled....which enevetably will happen....lol. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)
