macOS Sequoia: Safari not up to date and not updates available ?!?!

[MarcoR]

Hey everyone

Since a couple of Sequoia releases the version of Safari is not being updated on our Macbooks ! 

As example this morning I've updated my (enrolled) machine to Sequoia 18.4 but my Safari remains on version 18.2 (19620.1.16.111.6, 19620).

Of 88 devices (all up to date with macOS -> 15.3.2) 77 devices only have Safari in version 18.2 !

softwareupdate -l doesn't show any available updates.

Does anyone else have seen this behavior ?

Mine looks good. Just checked our patch management numbers for Safari. 

Is there a policy or anything pushing a Safari 18.2 package or something to your Sequoia Macs?

As far as I know there was never a single Safari package for Sequoia. Safari was always updated as part of the minor Sequoia update.

So no.

We had some update packages for Safari but only for Monterey and Ventura and none of them is active anymore.

That's right. Was just curious if somehow a Safari package for the older OS ran somehow.

Interesting. Sorry, no I haven't seen this issue. Are allof those MacBooks the same model or are they all a variety of different kinds?

Different devices, like MacBoook Pro M3, Macbook Air M3, Macbook Air M1
