Problem with S10 Update Manager
Hi,
The green shield at the bottom right of the screen says 'Updates Available', so I click on it to get the latest updates. Then I select the first update in the list by clicking the checkbox and then clicking 'Install Update'.
After a few seconds of trying to install the update an error message appears, saying:
'Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 997. Patch is not available in the patch directory.'
This occurs if I select a single update, or all 46 of them.
I attempted the updates straight after downloading and burning the latest S10 DVD (x86) so it is strange why this should be happening. Any help would be much appreciated.

dailystrips-update
DAILYSTRIPS-UPDATE(1) General Commands Manual DAILYSTRIPS-UPDATE(1)
NAME
dailystrips-update - download updated dailystrips definitions
SYNOPSIS
dailystrips-update [OPTIONS] DAYS
WARNING
This script is intended to use under the assumption that the development version of strips.def is the latest and best. Unfortunately, at
the time of this writing (August, 2007) upstream development seems to have ceased, so using this script will likely result in a more out-
of-date strips definiton than is included in the distribution.
WARNING
Due to the above, as of November 2009, dailystrips-update has been neutered to exit immediately on execution, and it is expected that it
will be removed in a future version of this package.
DESCRIPTION
The dailystrips-update script is provided to automatically retrieve updated strip definitions from a central server, eliminating the need
to manually download and install new versions of the entire program.
It is recommened that the dailystrips-update script be run before each execution of the main dailystrips program. The dailystrips-update
script has provisions to only check for updates if the current file has reached a certain age, which maximizes efficiency and should allow
users to run the update script before each execution of dailystrips without overtaxing the update server.
USAGE
Operation is straightforward. Simply execute dailystrips-update and the updated definitions will be saved to ~/.dailystrips-updates.def,
which will automatically be loaded by the main dailystrips program.
OPTIONS
-q, --quiet
Turn off progress messages
-v, --verbose
Turn on extra progress information, overrides -q
--proxy host:port
Use specified HTTP proxy server (overrides environment proxy, if set)
--proxyauth user:pass
Set username and password for proxy server
--noenvproxy
Ignore the http_proxy environment variable, if set
--retries NUM
When downloading items, make NUM attempts instead of only once
--updates FILE
Save updates to FILE instead of ~/.dailystrips-updates.def
--minage NUM
Skip downloading updates if local file is less than NUM seconds old
-V, --version
Print version number
-h, --help
