Upgrade to latest version of Sparkle [was: Can't update iTerm]

Required information for bugs. I probably can't help you unless you include this:

• iTerm2 version: Build 2.9.20160206
• OS version: 10.11.3 (15D21)
• Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
• Attach a debug log: doesn't seem to save a debug log

Steps:

• open iterm
• check for updates
• install update
• install and relaunch

gives alert:

Couldn't move /Users/me/Applications/iTerm.app to /Users/me/.Trash/iTerm.app

The application is not updated as I can repeat these steps and there is always an update to apply.

iTerm

What are the permissions on /Users/me/.Trash and /Users/me/Applications/iTerm.app? Any interesting messages in /var/log/system.log?

Trash: drwx------, iTerm.app drwxrwxrwx

cat /var/log/system.log | grep iTerm for today only. (tried running the update)

Weird. What if you manually delete /Users/me/Applications/iTerm.app and reinstall? Do you have the same problem if it's installed in a different directory?

If I remove the app and reinstall 2.9.20160206 (so 1 version back) I get the same issue. This also happened when using the Desktop as the install directory.

I can however just download the latest (beta) version and swap that in which works fine - because there are no updates I guess.

I wonder if the issue is an old version of Sparkle. Can you try this build and let me know what happens? At the very least you should get a more informative error message.

That does seem to work, I ran this from the desktop, then installed the update. It's now at version: Build 2.9.20160313.

Milestone changed to Ship 3.0
