All I did was first get errata fixes, second install 4.0,
reboot in single user mode, "cd" to a dir where I d-loaded
all fixes, do "rpm -Uhv --force *rpm" which I think installed
everything in alphabetical order, reboot again and no problems.
I don't think order really matters since rpms in errata fixed
different thing, e.g. it absolutely makes no difference if you
apply NetKit fix first and then Ghostscript fix or the other way
around: they have nothing to do with each other.
