If an update aborts due to recent factory changes, you can just restart. Maybe you need that a second and a third time, but usually an update needs only a limited time, so if you continue you will succeed.
Well, it every time takes me a few hours, as it tends to be here, then doing it three times is not really fun. I managed to do it with two times for the main Factory update and then doing about 200 button clicks for the Packages from KDE4:UNSTABLE (after needing a click for every one of them to step over during the install run already) and updating them from the software installation module again.
On ftp5.gwdg.de, last night one update lasted from 01:11 h to 02:58 h MET.
Well, I did run my update from about 10-11pm until 3-4am MET that night. I posted the mail when the second Factory update run started to complain on the missing UNSTABLE KDE4 packages.
This was just one of my problems with that update run, see http://home.kairo.at/blog/2009-01/living_on_the_edge for more fun. ;-)
So it seems you got it to manage the factory hassle the usual way: just restart, maybe more than once, but in the end you will succeed. So what...
