I did, but it's not better at all. You simply didn't unload Traits, so 
when the updater is trying to load 311-Deprecated it doesn't miss them.

The problem with updating after unloading is that the updater mechanism 
has no information of package dependencies, so it will try to load 
packages randomly which obviously won't work.
