2 days? You must have been using a mirror that's having problems.
Why would your server be down? The dependency problems prevent you
from updating, they should not bring your system down. Your server can
still run on the older packages. In most cases, the updates are
release long before a viable exploit is written. If you need them
faster you can always patch the packages yourself. Or use a temporary
fix.
I know there was an exploit for the recent PHP bug came out about as
soon as it was announced but the exploit required bugs in both the
application (like phpBB) and PHP. The patch for phpBB was released
pretty much right away and as long as you applied it you were safe.
It was a exploit in cups (we got hit the same day the first update was
released for fc3) it caused a dos every time we brought backup the
computer tried to download the update we got a descrepency if we put it
back online it would get the dos we had to wait 2 days till the
descrepency was fixed.
