Software update server- 10.4.8 fails to update

Question

Hello all,
I have a software update server and perticular updates fail when run on client computers. I have just been stuck disabling them in Server Admin. What is the easiest way to fix this. Some updates in peticular are 10.4.8 and different logic updates. Could these pkgs have become corrupted and need to be re-added to the /usr/share/swupd/html/ directory?
thank you!

Hi, I was wondering if you had made any progress on this problem. I have spent some time tonight looking at the update_list.txt file that the Apple Knowledge Base article shows you how to generate. I know for sure that the 10.4.8Combo updater is one that fails to install. I have noticed something that i cannot explain and would be interested to see if you see the same. Below is an excerpt from the .txt file. I noticed that some updates do not follow the folder numbering structure that the others do. The 10.4.8 Combo updater, along with a few others, begin with zzz. Any ideas on this?
