Subject: Product info database error, and unable to add "all" to a 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.

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

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!

Tim.

To fix the 10.8.2 combo updater you need to make 2 broken files.

both of these files from the update are.

http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/34/58/041-7694/n8pqcwj6lgbzl...

http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/34/58/041-7694/n8pqcwj6lgbzl...

so goto the reposado repository and go
into html/content/downloads/34/58/041-7694/n8pqcwj6lgbzl71l04jiyiqq2n6nh5qe3m

then copy one of the other .dist files to both filenames that are missing

e.g.

cp 041-7694.pl.dist 041-7694.hu.dist

cp 041-7694.pl.dist 041-7694.Italian.dist

then run repo_sync and as those files are present reposado will download
the other files needed.

It's not an ideal fix but it does work for now

Dan

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.
