Problems with Security Update 2004-06-07

[Wren]

I installed the software update on iBook running on Panther and after downloading and restarting the computer, it stalled at the point where it says"Waiting for Printing Services "( 95% of startup ). I've tried restarting the computing several times and it always stalls up to this point. Anybody else having this problem? HELP!

nope.no problems for me. try booting in the safe mode.

Try booting in "verbose mode", you might be "told" what is wrong.

Get into verbose mode by holding down the <COMMAND> and <V> right after startup chime. Press and hold until grey boot screen turns into black with white letters.

Read 'em! You might get wiser. ;)

Could this be linked to the System accessing the Printing Services?

I am having exactly the same problem.

I have not had time to research it properly, but I have seen that this Update changes something in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

Restored previous version (in single user mode), rebooted, no go.

Also, dyld complains about a wrong version of libxml.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

(And yes, I know that the 'mac way' of fixing it is probably the fastest ("Archive and install") - I just prefer to know what is going on)

update:

- Tried starting cupsd manually, fails on error 49.
- Started cupsd manually, in the foreground (so I can see what is going on)
- dyld again- "version mismatch for library [...] /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib"

So it definitely seems to be that library.
