I am having this problem also.  For a while my SBC was telling me every day
about an update, which I would dutifully apply.  Then one day I hit the
update which would crash the SBC whenever I tried to auto-update to it.  I
did the manual update workaround, and that resolved the problem.

Recently I noticed that it had not asked me to update in quite some time.  I
checked and saw that, sure enough, it was at r2287.  I downloaded the latest
jive bin file from here:
http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/trunk/

I renamed it to jive.bin, put it on an SD card, and applied it to the SBC
manually.  Worked fine, now I'm at r2354.  However, when I check the
software update menu from the SBC, it still says there is an update
available to r2287.  Odd!

I looked on my Squeezecenter system to find any old jive binaries lying
around:
$ find / -name *jive*.bin -print
/var/cache/squeezecenter/jive_1_r1605.bin
/var/cache/slimserver/jive_1_r1279.bin
/var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/jive_7.0.1_r2287.bin
$

I deleted all of those, but still the SBC reported that r2287 update was
available.  That got me thinking that probably there was some data file
which told it when an update was available...

$ sudo find / -name *jive* -print
/var/cache/squeezecenter/jive.version
/var/cache/slimserver/jive.version
/var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/jive.version
$ cat /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/jive.version
7.0.1 r2287

Aha!  So why does that file still list r2287?  Anyway, I deleted all of
those files, rebooted the SBC, but *still* it insists that r2287 update is
available.  At this point I am guessing this information must also be cached
somewhere on the SBC itself.  I'm wondering if a factory reset is the way to
clear that out.
