The main problems I faced, was some depencies problems, but I am using 
the development version. That is why I left out the -debuginfo part, I 
was in a hurry, my system had crashed and I wanted to be back again in a 
jiffy.
It took me less then 2 hours for the (now) about 2900 updates.
The coming week I will be in the hospital, so my computer willbe offline 
then.
