I had the same kind of problem with 151a7, no f...n way to make updates run
OK.

The messages appearing for you seem a lot like what I had.

My best guess is that this is a basic flaw in logic, that in most cases
would never cause a problem, but somehow, in a personal-computer use of OI,
doesn't keep enough info  around to step past some unexpected hurdle.
