Yes, the system was up to date before I installed matplotlib. Just to check my failing memory, I checked for updates (none), reinstalled and got the same answer. The combo updater looks like it's a fast track to the same outcome as Software update - is it something different? If Matplotlib is only expected to work for the Quartz installs - is it worth trying to detect that and warn / error at install time?
