Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 released
Hopefully not as problematic as the first edition.
[Wednesday, March 26th]
Apple has released Security Update 2008-002 1.1, a revision to the massive security update released earlier this month that caused extreme issues for a number of users, including system instability, problems printing and more.
The new release is available in the following editions:
- Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 (Leopard) [50MB]
- Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server (Leopard) [108MB]
In the words of one MacFixIt reader, regarding the initial security update release:
"After the last update (my Mac) has been effectively wrecked as a useful machine. The process of updating via 'Software Update' led to the BSOD (alternating blue screens with and without cursor) just before the login screen (lots of people with the same experience). I reinstalled Leopard (and all subsequent updates one by one - four hours of work, and updated all TP apps before running. Now after twelve hours of apparently trouble-free running, the machine is constantly failing with kernel panics (I have never had to deal with those in the previous four years). I am trying to run diskwarrior (latest version - from an emergency firewire disk in Tiger) to ensure the system disk has not been damaged, although the disk utility has passed it."
Here's hoping that this update goes off more smoothly.
