Artie, I did not understand this line: "...so I'll bow to ganbustein's not having called you out." Called out for what? I'm probably misinterpreting this. Perhaps, I missed a post. I looked, but did not find anything to help me understand.
Oh, that was just vernacular for "
He didn't question the Terminal command you ran to reset your LaunchServices database." Sorry for the confusion.
By the way, I've learned from experience to keep the larger updates required for a clean install of OS X 10.6.8, the 10.6.8 Combo and Safari 5.1.0 updaters and Security Update 2013-004, stored on my deuced Mac(hina) so I don't have to d/l them every time I need them.
Additionally, if you ever rerun
only the Combo, you'll need to run the Snow Leopard Migration Assistant updater and the Safari (The Combo reverts Safari to v 5.0.5.) and Security updaters along with it. Unfortunately, running the Combo doesn't clear previously deposited receipts, so Software Update doesn't think any updates are required.
