Many of us have in stalled the update without any problems.  Have you 
modified your system from a basic system?
I only had one little glitch.  It had to do with resolv.conf.5.
Of course I had installed ALL the earlier patches.  I guess a major 
confusion is what exactly does an update becoming obsolete mean.
I install all obsolete updates in order.  Example
If there were 10 updates.
update 10 requires 9, 8 and 5
It obsoletes 1,2,3,4,6, and 7
9 requires 6
8 requires 7

I would then take this to mean i could install 1 through 10 in order and 
take the time (I do it this way)
or I could instal 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
Some people take it they only have to install 5, 8, 9 and 10.  These people 
have problems.
