Proxy Server settings for Auto Update

[CShort at abare.gov.au]

Yes, you should be concerned if the resources are not getting installed correctly - however, that's a question better directed to Userland.

Generally, installing an object via an update should not be a problem.

Perhaps something was corrupted in the transfer process (especially if it was a large update). Try setting the date for the last update back to an earlier date (perhaps look at your backups for the last date used prior to your recent update attempt) and set the value at user.rootUpdates.servers.Frontier.lastupdate appropriately (or for whatever root update failed).

I will say that with a 7.0.1 root - running the root update process fails to install system.verbs.builtins.xml.aggregator.unsubscribeErrantServices correctly for me repeatedly. However, since I don't need that verb, I'm simply waiting for the clean 7.1 to be released and I will ensure my root has the correct version.

It's not a procedure I recommend though.

cheers,
Christopher

Christopher,

thanks for the info. I can now download updates again. However, some 
resources do fail to get installed in Frontier.root. Should I be alarmed 
by this?

Cheers,

Oliver.
