Jim,
I followed your suggestion and did updates in small chucks. I had to dance around the updating of 'f*'. I have it boiled down to just one more update, that being 'filesystem'. Is this just a coincidence that updating "filesystem" needs 8kb on / filesystem? I don't think this is a disk space issue, as I did many large multi-megabyte updates in various chunks.
Attempting to delete and reinstall filesystem would be ugly as it involves 1000+ packages.
