Yes, it's a general problem we're facing, which is a combination of these 3:
  - people want factory synced out as soon as possible
  - we're required to review all new packages if we're are legally
    allowed to distribute them
  - developers split packages - creating new packages

Basically you can't have all 3 of them without problems you see. Additionally
zypper up -t package is a pretty dumb tool, it only looks at one package at a
time and doesn't see that requirements are no longer full filled. 

So what you should prefer with factory is using yast2-update-FACTORY - it will
at least be able to tell you, that there is a library missing _before_ you 
update. And yes, zypper distupgrade is being worked on.
