Apple working on SUS fix? Test Update in SUS list

I have this file in the SUS update list either.

Before I installed 10.5.2, I used to have a big bunch of updates and index.sucatalog file was missing, now with the 10.5.2 update it doesn't seem to get better, the index.sucatalog file is still missing and i get errors in log file such as :

swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

ERROR: __CFURLCache::StepSQLStatement - step failed (exceed retry) - ErrCode: 5

ERROR: __CFURLCacheSelectAndCreateResponse - failed to select, retry exceeded - ErrCode: 5

swupd_syncd failed with NSInvalidArgumentException: * -[NSCFString appendString:]: nil argument

My server just started to show that same error message in the log file and has stopped downloading updates. Did you discover any reason or solution for your problem ?

I'm just getting the first message

swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

I'm also having trouble, seems to have only started within the last day or so.

swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

The only related thing I could find on google was this thread.

I'm getting exactly the same problem! Does no-one have a resolution?

Hi,

Same error since 16.04.2008, unable to get Safari 3.1.1

<Error>: swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

Stop/Start the service and reboot didn't help

Same problem here. Two machines not pointed at my internal server get the update via Software Update just fine - the ones pointed here can't because of this server issue.

My OS X 10.5 Server although. It seems that it is an 10.5 Sus Problem not in 10.4 Server.

I thought that apple is using two different websites to connect to download there updates.

For 10.4 Server i know it's http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index-1.sucatalog

and i thing for the 10.5 Server it's http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index.sucatalog.

But thisone could not be reached at the moment.

My OS X 10.5 Sus showed this error on 11 PM yesterday.

Anyone knowing more??

Hi,

The error

<Error>: swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We've been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

first appeared on Apr 16 01:57:56. Software Update is not downoading Safari 3.1.1. But the Server itself, looking directly out to Apple servers, is downloading the update with no problems.

Hope Apple acknowledges this problem soon.

i have got the same error.

Same thing here.

It will probalbly work again once all the updates are deleted and if we start all over.

I hate having to download 3 GB for nothing.

Hi,

received the same error reported by Refik Telhan since Apr 16th, 3:30:05. SUS is running and clients may reach and use it. Whereas the latest updates (e.g. Safari 3.1.1) are not downloaded from the Apple Server.

The Server itself, hooked to the Apple Server, may download Safari 3.1.1 without problems.

Any hints?

Cheers,

Yeah, I'm getting it too.

At least the error message is amusing as it kicks you in the teeth and stops working.

Disservice with a smile!

I am having the same issue! Hope they fix it soon.

My server also started reporting this error Wed April 16 02:30 (GMT-3).

Reboots, repaired permissions, restarted service all to no avail. Even my years working with windoze weren't enough to prepare me for Leopard. :^(

Like the error says, "Drat."
