This sounds similar to the behavior described in #54 so I'm going to close this as a duplicate, recommend following the other thread and attempting the described possible fix. If I can get confirmation that kickstarting softwareupdated
results in more reliable update checks, I'll add it as a step in check_for_updates
.
An odd behaviour, I had 1 hour left to defer on installing 12.1 Beta 2 and suddenly it has detected no updates via softwareupdate binary and cleaned up the preferences :( However running the softwareupdate binary immediately after the LD unloaded shows the update
