Product:macOS + SDK Product Version:10.14.1
Classification:Bug Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary: machines running 10.14.1 are offered both the 10.14.2 point update and 10.14.3 combo update as the 10.14.2 point update was not deprecated in software update catalogs.


Steps to Reproduce: boot a machine running 10.14.1. Check and download updates using softwareupdate -d. 


Expected Results: only the 10.14.3 combo updater (product ID 041-31306) is downloaded and appears in /Library/Updates.


Actual Results: both 041-31306 and 091-97092 are downloaded. When softwareupdate -i is run, 041-31306 is installed but 091-97092 stays in /Library/Updates.


Version/Build: macOS 10.14.1


Configuration: replicated this issue on three MacBook Pro laptops
