Q: Software Update - updates are not removed!

I use the service in Manual mode, and everytime I Enable one update runs perfectly, once I pull the update in all computers I try to delete it (Remove...) ,

for a couple of minutes the Status shows back Available (as it was deleted), but then the Status Enable comes back!!!

 

if i lookup the folder /Library/Server/Software Update size, I can see that the update file are still there and were nor removed!

 

Does anyone has this symptom ? some suggestions ?

 

 

Thanks

    I tried to delete the complete folder /Library/Server/Software Update, while the service is off, then I turned the service again on, the Server app creates again the folder and files again, and those updates that I removed are still there

    I have the same issue. I even tried to remove the updates from "library/server/software update/data/html/content/downloads/...".

    The list of updates shown in the software update pane changes to available. Then after a period of time, the software package that was removed is downloaded again by the server, and the update gets now listed as enabled. This has been there for a long time. I got around to it at one point by installing server on a bigger hard drive, but I really would appreciate if server would actually accept the instructions given to it.
