Repeated updates from App Store over and over again?

Hi guys,


Does anybody else get these repeated update offers from the App Store for the same updates over and over again? When I try installing it again, it re-downloads and I get an error message.


Thanks


MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

To check if your updates have actually been installed click on the Apple top left of your screen, select About This Mac. Now select System Report, from the screen that opens select Software and then Installations. Click on Install Date twice so the list is shown with the most recent downloads first. If the updates listed in the App Store as being installed are not then connect your Mac to your router using a cabled connection, and watch the progress bar and make sure it goes from Downloading to Installing.

Ok, I thought I would do a bit of checking on my Mac also. According to Safari I was running version 13.0.2

the latest offering. I looked in the Software> Installations section and it was not listed, odd.

I then checked for available updates and it said 13.0.2 was available for download, strange. So I downloaded it and it installed.

It is now listed as installed in the System Report> Software> Installations list.

So I cannot give you a definitive answer as to why that would be, perhaps there was a revision that they don't want to admit to, but remember it is not you that is going mad it is everyone else.
