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.

softwareupdate(8) BSD System Manager's Manual softwareupdate(8)
NAME
softwareupdate -- system software update tool
SYNOPSIS
softwareupdate command [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
Software Update checks for new and updated versions of your software based on information about your computer and current software.
Invoke softwareupdate by specifying a command followed by zero or more args.
softwareupdate requires admin authentication for all commands except --list. If you run softwareupdate as a normal admin user, you will be
prompted for a password where required. Alternatively, you can run softwareupdate as root and avoid all further authentication prompts.
The following commands are available:
-l | --list
List all available updates.
-i | --install
Each update specified by args is downloaded and installed. args can be one of the following:
-r | --recommended
All updates that are recommended for your system. These are prefixed with a * character in the --list output.
-a | --all All updates that are applicable to your system, including those non-recommended ones, which are prefixed with a -
character in the --list output. (Non-recommended updates are uncommon in any case.)
item ... One or more specified updates. The --list output shows the item names you can specify here, prefixed by the * or -
characters. See EXAMPLES.
-d | --download
Each update specified by args is downloaded but not installed. The values of args are the same as for the --install command.
Updates downloaded with --download can be subsequently installed with --install, or through the App Store (as long as they remain
applicable to your system). Updates are downloaded to /Library/Updates, but are not designed to be installed by double-clicking
the packages in that directory: always use --install or the App Store to actually perform the install.
--ignore identifier ...
Manages the per-machine list of ignored updates. The identifier is the first part of the item name (before the dash and version
number) that is shown by --list. See EXAMPLES.
--reset-ignored
Clears the per-machine list of ignored updates.
--schedule on | off
Manages the per-machine automatic (background) check preference.
-h | --help
Print command usage.
EXAMPLES
The following examples are shown as given to the shell:
softwareupdate --list
