There were problems checking for, downloading or installing this update.
SeaMonkey could not be updated because:

Update XML file malformed(200)



User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/42.0 SeaMonkey/2.39
Build identifier: 20151103191810

This is a Win7 Pro system which checks daily.  No problems in the past.

Anyone else seeing this??

My Mac and an old XP system just say that there's no update available,
as normal.  ewong checked and did not see the problem either.

I am seeing this issue on a 2006 iMac Mac OS 10.7

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/42.0 SeaMonkey/2.39

I get the exact same error message as the OP.
"Update Failed".

Like the original poster, I have been getting this error for about 12 months (Win7 Ultimate), currently the same Seamonkey build. It does not go away after downloading and installing a fresh copy via the link.
I have been putting off creating a new profile from scratch.

None of these suggested error conditions appear to be relevant and everything else works, for various values of "work"

AUS Update XML File Malformed 200

The message, AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200) can sometimes appear during a check for updates. This is a "catch-all" update error which can occur for different reasons such as being in "offline" mode, network problems, or not being signed on with your Master password (if you've set one up) before the update check [22]. Software Update requires a secure connection so, if you are also receiving errors on webmail login pages, bank sites or other secure (https) sites (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org) see Error loading secure sites.

If Software Update errors persist, you can download the latest version of Firefox or Thunderbird from www.mozilla.com and install it "on top of" your current version, instead of using the Software Update feature.
