It was noticed today that if you do a manual check for updates in a current 1.9.1 nightly build, you will be offered an update to "3.5.16pre". This update will be the same build as you already have. I'm running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16pre) Gecko/20101105 Shiretoko/3.5.16pre and I keep getting offered a new build if I manually check and it is the same build after I restart for the update. The culprit may be the checkin two days ago into the 1.9.1 update code but I'm not sure. See http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/d16805f53fa1. Logging this under RelEng as requested by John O'Duinn.
Could that be happening because of the following patch which has been landed on 1.9.1 and now quits earlier with a JS error: "abi" not defined? http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/d16805f53fa1

Fixing this broken check-in solved the problem for me and no more update is listed. So it's clearly a regression from bug 552924. Adding Mozmill whiteboard entry because we detected this with our Mozmill test-runs.

The follow-up patch which has been landed on bug 552924, didn't fix the problem for me gAbi is still undefined: Error: reference to undefined property "gAbi" Source File: file:///Applications/Shiretoko.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsUpdateService.js Line: 1155
If you manually added that I would expect that error. It should be gABI which is what landed.
Gotcha! That's it. Now it's working fine. Thanks Rob! Fixed with: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/24b02f04fb6d

As Al discovered we also have to push this fix to 1.9.2.

On 1.9.2 it's not a problem with this patch. Nick was able to fix the update problem server-side. So no need for this patch on 1.9.2, even it would be useless, because there is nothing to fix.
