Storeagent: multibyte ASN1 identifiers are not supported

Hi

It's the process involved in the App Store and associated services such as Software Updates for the client OS. There are number of threads regarding it over on the main forum (as well as elsewhere) of which these are just a few:

Hi

I don't think these recent threads apply to you although they might?

I've seen reports of something similar for the Mail App. If this is not a stock install and you're running 3rd-party software that may not have been tested for Mavericks then the problem may lie there? If it was me I would use the split-half-search method to disable/remove anything that is not part of the original OS and troubleshoot from there.

HTH?

Did you get to the bottom of this?

I looked at the Console today for an unrelated reason and found this:

There's hundreds of these entries over the last few days.

I have no idea what's causing it???

same here, a lot of "multibyte ASN1 identifiers are not supported" found in console.. does anybody know what it means?

Has anyone made any headway on this
