MacOS HighSierra 10.13.1 Update failure

Hi guys,

I have a weird problem with my Mac. I am trying to update my Macbook air from HighSierra 10.13.1 to 10.13.2. I received the update notice and did the update, mac get restarted, then it takes 15 minutes to install the update. Then it get booted and then the problem happens. My mac remain again on 10.13.1 and again ask for update to 10.13.2

I tried it so far 6 times and every time the same thing happens. I then went to console app to see what kind of error I am getting.

Then here it is:

At this stage I do not know what to do. Note that I recently tried to install HP Driver for printers which failed (although I gave required permission in Security & Privacy section to load the Kernel Extension). Also I am using the AVG antivirus for mac.


I also looked at the followings and it did not help.

softwareupdated(229) deny system-fsctl 0x682f

Any idea why I can not update the macos?
