MRT update 1.41 failed?

This morning, after some unusual long delay on a shut down, the XProtect update to 2103 was installed. But I have found this link https://eclecticlight.co/2019/05/02/apple-has-pushed-updates-to-both-xprotect-and-mrt/ , that says that an MRT update was suppose to come alongside XProtect 2103, to get MRT to 1.41 . I have checked the System Information app, on Software/Installation and found no receipt for an MRT update, only for XProtect. On Software/Applications, I see that the MRT app is on version 1.41 , but dated for 27.4.2019, from a few days ago. There is a receipt for a Voice Daniel update on 19.04.2019, also for Gatekeeper Configuration Data 165 on the same date . I am confused now. Wasn't suppose to be a receipt for an MRT update, if it was installed?

Could someone check please on System Information, on Software/Installation if there is a receipt for an MRT update on Mojave 10.14.4 , alongside the receipt for XProtect 2103 ? On Software/Applications what version does the MRT app have and what is the date of it?

You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /touchbar is this ?

I would not be overly concerned here, It will sort itself out in due time with no user intervention on your part. Rest assured you are protected.

These updates roll out on a schedule and may not all be delivered at the same time as you are expecting.

Apple uses its Software Update service (softwareupdate command-line tool) as a mechanism for installing “background and critical” updates that are installed silently in the background with no notifications to the user.

If you are determined to pursue this further, you can verify and force the updates, using a small utility download to your Mac for this purpose: LockRattler

Let me know if you have further concerns or if this solves your issue.

I have reinstalled Mojave. MRT was indeed broken by the restart I commanded during the update process. Now Gatekeeper, XProtect and MRT have all been updated and the receipts are there. But an update for Voice Daniel, that was listed in System Information, is now absent. Could you please check if you have it?

As I am located in the U.S., Daniel is an optional English (United Kingdom) voice that I do not have installed.

I have already tried that tool and another one from that developer. A update MRT seems to have been installed, but no receipt for it. This shows that MRT is probably corrupted. The invisible security updates (Gatekeeper, MRT, XProtect) got corrupted in the past, when some heavy app was running during their install (like MPLayer OSX Extended). No, macOS did not fixed the issue, the OS needed to be reinstalled.

I hoped someone could check their machine and see what System Information says on Software/Applications about MRT, the version and the date, also on Software/Installations if a MRT installation is listed.

I have both XProtect 2103 and MRT v1.41 installations as of mid-afternoon on May 2. There is an MRT package (com.apple.pkg.MRTConfigData.16U4053), and the MRT.app shows a creation date of Apr 26, and last modified of May 2.

macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E226).
