Two things help tremendously:
#1: Have working backups. If you run into a problem, roll back the
system to a working state. If you cannot restore a working system
easily, fix your backup solution until you can rollback easily.
#2: Have a package-building box and test builds before installing
new package builds to other boxes. Your downtime for upgrades
to the rest of your boxes become minimized.
