I think I've been bitten by a version of this:

TLU (Mac OS X) tells me, for example, that 'a2ping.universal-darwin'  
has local version 16044, and remote version 9317.  I have a whole  
batch of similar entries and no others (i.e., all either match or are  
newer on the local system).

When I run the update, each of these generates the message 'unhandled  
status "r "' (from tlu_ipctask).

Things were working well until I tried an update sometime yesterday  
evening (or early this AM, PST).

Something going on at the factory?  I've tried updating several times,  
all with the same results.
