And the answer is:

Try a clean installation of OS X. Often that (and many more) will be corrected in doing so.

im not about to do a clean install, not for software update. is there any way else around this?

does it work if you try logging in as a different user? if yes, then it's probably a corrupt plist file in your home/library/preferences or the cache in home/library/caches.

if it doesn't work logged in as another user either, then try deleting the cache and/or the plist for software update in the library directory at the root of your drive.

also, maybe d/l the 10.2.6 *combo* update and re-apply that.....
