A possible fix for a broken Software Update
Authored by: amontgom on Sep 08, '04 09:31:32PM

I have dealt with this problem several times by running up Terminal, deleting the TemporaryItems folder and restarting. I use the command:
sudo rm -r /tmp/501/TemporaryItems
After a restart Software Update runs properly.
I figured a folder called "TemporaryItems" couldn't be that important, and it appears to get recreated at startup. I havn't had any problems with this method so far, but if anybody knows about something that I may have broken please tell me!
