Dear All ­

An iBook came in, full to bursting, client had tried to back-up, re-load, etc 
made a hash of it. Asked me to tidy up machine.

I did a full back-up (natch), put in some more RAM, and did a clean install 
of OS X 10.3.x.. Recreated user. Then loaded combo 10.3.9.

So far so good. Then loaded four more of the updates as advertised by 
Software Update (SU). Can't remember which ones, but 3 of the 4 required a 
restart so did that all in one go.

Now the machine starts up just fine, but Software Update won't run! So I 
can't complete the updates process.

Machine seems otherwise fine. I've re-installed the 10.3.9 combo. Still no 
SU.

SU Crash log says:

Version ??? (???)
PID: 444
Thread: Unknown

Link (dyld) error:

and several Webkit and Webcore undefined references.


Before I do an Archive and Install again - any ideas?


TIA

Believe me, my young friend (said the water rat, solemnly), there 
is nothing - absolutely nothing - half as much worth doing as simply 
messing about in boats. Simply messing about. Nothing seems really to 
matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away or whether you 
don't, whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach 
somewhere else, or whether you get anywhere at all, you're always 
busy, and you never do anything in particular.

Was something moved, which SU failed to spot when updating?

Does the command-line softwareupdate tool work?

Cheers,

Yes, I've read that it hates that - but no, all very simple.

Well, I just set it going overnight, and then downloaded all updates from 
Apple (using some of my monthly download allocation) and it seems to have 
done the trick - so perhaps my local copy of something is corrupted.

Thanks
