MSU detects old Apple Software Updates if no explicit reciept found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Safari 5.0.4 over 5.0.1
2. Check for updates with MSU
3. Reports that Safari 5.0.2 is available

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No Safari packages should be available.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest as of 3/29/11 - 7.0.1047.0. - 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.
Similar behavior can been seen with old security updates that have been rolled 
up into OS updates and not installed explicitly.

I think you need more steps to reproduce this.  Maybe something like:

1) Have internal SUS with Safari 5.0.2 as latest available Safari.
2) Let softwareupdate -d -a run in the background (either via munki or via 
normal Apple Software Update scheduled runs)
3) Install Safari 5.0.4 via some non-munki/ ASUS mechanism (manually, for 
example)
4) Check for updates with MSU
5) MSU uses results of last `softwareupdate -d -a` run.

If/when you see this issue, and you run `sudo softwareupdate -d -a`, does the 
issue go away?

Unless we get some more info, this looks like a duplicate of issue 58...

I don't have the infrastructure immediately available to test that; didn't see 
issue 58.  Will see what I can discover.  Thank you for a quick response.

This should be addressed with the new Apple software update mechanism merged to 
trunk in r1259.
