MacBook Pro-EFI-firmware-updater 2.6 keeps reappearing

Hi, I got a long standing problem with the update MacBook Pro-EFI-firmware-updater 2.6 which is constantly offered in the App Store -> Updates


After doing the update (no error messages) and the necessary reboot the update keeps reappearing in the App Store Updates. This goes for both Lion and Mountain Lion.


Anybody have a solution?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
