I put this bug here, since there is no "software update" component for TB

There is an auto update problem with 20050914 version ... (TB 1.5 beta 1)
I choose "check update" and TB download a partial patch of 558ko

TB restart to apply the patch, and then i got the message: The partial
update could not be applied. Thunderbird will try again by downloading a
complete Update.

--> click next, and TB download a 7.3Mb package

--> restard ... but it stay 20050914 and check update do exactly the
same in infinite loop: downloading a little patch of 558 k, then error,
then download of 7.3Mb then always 20050914 etc ...

I think the only solution is to download the 20050915 nightly

PS:app.update.url is
https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/0/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/update.xml

and app.update.channel is nightly 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get the nightly 1.8 branch 20050914
2.Check for update


Actual Results:  
The partial
update could not be applied. Thunderbird will try again by downloading a
complete Update. 
--> then the complete update is downloaded and installed, but it always stay at
version 20050914

Expected Results:  
If the partial update failed and the complete update is installed, the TB
installed should be 20050915
Summary: problem with partial patch update TB1.5 b1 20050914 version --> installing the complete update but always stay at the same version → problem with partial patch update TB1.5 b1 20050914 version --> installing the complete update but always stay at the same version
Version: unspecified → 1.5
more info :
This is strange ...
i've got the dialog box automatically asking if i wanted an update
And the update has worked this time (little patch and i'm now in 20050915)

So, is there a different mechanism/url or other between updating by "help-->
check for update" (manual mode) and the automatic update which come one time by day?
Is there only one user logged in? xref bug 307384 (for firefox)?
no, this is not the same bug ...
here, i'm in a DOMAIN configuration, not workgroup, so user switch is not
possible with XP.

I have the same problems - sometimes. This was happening for me before, then it
got better - for a few days I was able to update TB without problems and then on
Sep 15 the problem occured again. I ran update for several times, but the
version didn't change. I had to manually download the latest nightly and install
it. We'll see tommorrow if the problem is still there.
WFM today.
Maybe it is related to this new fixed bug:

Thunderbird/1.4.1 ID:2005100406

Is what I get when I use the Nightly Tester Tools extension, but the "About
Mozilla Thunderbird" shows version 1.5 Beta 2 (20051004)
It seems that a lot of similar problems was (or is) solved in the bug 311099
