I'm in a situation similar to yours; poor connectivity means I can't
update fast enough and the repo becomes inconsistent in the middle
(sometimes it's even inconsistent to begin with). My nasty workaround
for unattended dist-upgrades is:

while true; do echo y; echo i; echo 1; done | sudo zypper dup

This will simply alternate between "y", "i" and "1" answers to
questions, dealing with license approval (yes), media inconsistencies
(ignore) and resolver problems (option 1).

I like to live dangerously.
