Have you tried running it with the "-v" option to get a bit more
visibility as to what it's doing?  Are you sure you have enough disk
space for the packages that are downloaded?  IIRC, the dependencies
are resolved before the download occurs, so you may be out of space.
If so, add "--tmpdir=/some/path" where "/some/path" points to a
directory on a filesystem with adequate space.

These are just ideas...I don't use up2date often.
