I am ruuning an older version and only use the GUI, so this may not be
helpful.
When I do updating I use kpackagekit
When updating went "bad" on me, what I did was edit sources to pick a
different mirror. then did an update which forced all the sources files
to be reloaded.
The nature of my trouble turned out that my DSL modem was helpful when
the file could not be downloaded because of a network glitch and I found
several "files" in the form of "SnazyModem, this file could not be
accessed press here to try again"
The side Stepping the "helpfullness" I now have my sources pointed at a
Mirror that only offers FTP.
If you use the Gnome version I don't even know what is the equivalent of
KpackageKit
