Re: [reposado] Product info database error, and unable to add "all" to a catalog

[Gregory Neagle]

I'm not where I can easily check this, but that product ID sounds like the currently broken 10.8.2 Combo Update. You can probably work around the issue thusly:

./repoutil --purge-product 041-7694

./repoutil --add-products all some_catalog

hey all,

I'm trying to do the typical initial setup of a testing and production catalog for the updates - (we've been running it raw until the latest Java update that pulls the web plugin), however I can't seem to dump everything into a catalog due to an error in my product info database.

When I do the './repoutil --add-product all production', it seems to go swimmingly until I get the following:

Product 041-7694 is missing a title or version!

Product info database may be incomplete.

Info for product:

{'AppleCatalogs': ['http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalog... (snipped - lots of rambling after this)

Then nothing is written to the Catalog. 

Any advise on how to repair/rebuild the Product info database or solve this issue? I've ensured that I have the latest version of everything, and have run ./repo_sync --recheck to no avail.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Greg,

Thanks so much for the help, but I seem to still be in this failed state even after purging the problem-child (it is indeed the 10.8.2 Combo update). When I try to purge, I get warnings, and then the same errors when I attempt to add the products to a catalog.

I'm attaching the output from the purge command below.

Try the --force option with --purge-product.

*facepalm*

I should have known to try that. Thanks Greg, worked like a charm!

Or just pull the latest source - Greg patched a workaround for this a few days ago:

I like this method it's more transparent, than patching reposado to hide the error.

Rather than copy I've gone for touch

touch 041-7694.pl.dist 041-7694.hu.dist
touch 041-7694.pl.dist 041-7694.Italian.dist

Agreed - when I saw these posts yesterday, it resulted in an "Oh, I get it now!" moment. Very useful for the green repo admin.
