Leopard 10.5.2 update pain
Well it did arrive after all. My update was not totally strait forward however so just incase it happens to anyone else here is how I dealt with it.
The problem started because it was a huge update, my PowerBook G4 needed 346MBs! I am currently using a BTOpenzone connection which cuts out after a period of inactivity and is really slow. So the download cut out a number of times before it managed to get all of the update.
Eventually however the software update tool told me that it was finished downloading and did I want to instal it? I clicked yes and off it went.
Thats as far as it got. According to the update progress bar it was configuring the update for about 2.5 hours. I assume that the update package must have been corrupted from the download problems I had.
I went back into the Software update tool to repeat the download. The problem is though that there seems to de no way of telling the program to get rid of the old update file and download a new copy. I tried a number of things and a few googles for any tips, but no luck.
In the end I downloaded the package manually from the Apple updates page on their website and instal it that way. It worked fine that time.
