Software Update gets stuck

The last 2 times Software Update on my MacBook Air told me that updates are available, I proceeded with the installs and it hung.

Both times

* the software update required a restart before installing
* got stuck at the screen that shows the default Leopard wallpaper and the timer
* holding the power button to power off and then starting it again seems to do the trick


No a big deal, just a bit annoying. This does not happen on my macbook, just the macbook air.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
 
Happened to me just the other day when updating to Safari 3.1.1 - exactly as you describe it.

Had to do a hard shut down.

Problem was, Software Update did not complete the required updates and every time I run Software Update, Safari is still offered up.

Updated and the same thing happens again.

Decided to just download the standalone installer and that did the trick.

I wonder if this bug is an Air only thing because I did the same update on my iMac and all went well.
