Odd Apple Software Update bug
I thought I'd put this here, because I earlier googled & drew a blank.
Well now, I was trying to run Software Update (on OSX 10.4.9), and it was telling me it wouldn't work because I wasn't connected to the Internet. Well, that was rubbish, and it did it for about a week, so clearly the internet was fine, and so were Apple's servers... So I had a look in the logs (console.log), and found
2007-06-08 00:15:47.883 System Preferences[21676] loader:didFailWithError:NSError "XML parser error:
Encountered unexpected EOF
Old-style plist parser error:
Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
" Domain=SUCatalogLoader Code=0 UserInfo={
NSLocalizedDescription = "
NSURL = http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index-1.sucatalog;
}
Cue a great deal of mucking about, including trying to search the entire system for knackered plists, and ktracing the command line softwareupdate.
There appears to have been some corrupt data in /Users/[my username]/Library/Caches/com.apple.Softw
