It *just* leads to problems? Mmm; it *may* lead to problems, yes. Experience of what
happens in practice tells me that it will almost certainly be fine and will avoid a potentially long
and unwanted system update in the middle of work.
But yes, technically, it's better to do -Syu so that you're not potentially installing a package
that was built against another package that you have have an out-of-date version of, possibly
leading to the new package segfaulting or failing to launch.
