Same issue here. Also had this issue with the first 10.14.6 Supplemental Update (never resolved).


I have tried running Disk Utility/First Aid, including running it from the Recovery partition. No change in behavior.


I also cannot install from the downloaded version.

I also tried downloading the 10.14.6 Combo Updater from 9/26/2019 and got a similar failure message when trying to install that one.

I too have this same issue. I am unable to install any of the automatic updates that come.


I have tried (unsuccessful in all outcomes):


  • Automatic updates of the packages for Mojave (Safari update worked but not the Security Updates)
  • Manually downloading the packages and trying to install
  • Deleting the apple.com.appstore folders and cache and trying again
  • Booting to safe mode and manually installing from the above Download link

Still the same thing here. I even tried installing Catalina and that fails.


Then I tried this sequence:

Cloned my boot drive to an external SSD.

Boot from external.

Erase internal SSD.

Run Catalina Installer, targeting internal. - Fails


I was able to clone back to my internal, so I'm back where I was. I'm just not able to install or update my OS.

Now I'm wondering if there is an issue with one of the invisible partitions/containers that that OS uses? Just a theory.


I'm attaching the error log from my last attempt to install the Security Update 2019-001 for Mojave.

Hoping that provides someone some clues?
