Anybody else experiencing issues with these updates? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209193 talks about Security Update 2018-001 High Sierra that dropped yesterday, but this morning Security Update 2018-002 High Sierra is showing as available when I run softwareupdate --list. More troubling, I had two users report that they turned on their Macs this morning they got a "The macOS installation couldn't be completed" message with an Installation Log window in the background. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to troubleshoot the machines, but I'm guessing Security Update 2018-001 High Sierra was responsible.

Security Update 2018-001 High Sierra or Security Update 2018-002 High Sierra

+23@Sterritt you can go to the new os or the original OS that shipped on the machine, depending on the key combination you used to start internet recovery. If your machines you received had 10.13 on it, then even if you go to 10.14 you can go back to the original 10.13 with an internet recovery.
As a reminder, you may want to keep on old OS's, but Apple unofficially stops supporting older OS's relatively quickly (Current OS- 10.14, minus 2 - 10.13 and 10.12). With the probable release of a new OS this year, 10.12 will be dropped from support soon after, no more patches.
*Edit: spelling
+5I'm seeing bootloops with Security Update 2019-001 (Sierra). We can't use Apple's SUS, nor do we have an internal SUS.
The update gets borked somewhere during reboot. Overwrites the the symlink /var with not much in it. The path to /private/var is still there, but trying to re-create the symlink still leads to bootloops. I tried it once as a shot in the dark.
I've run out of ideas on how to install this security update without getting bootloops, much less trying to fix the problem after it happens.
Any ideas on how to install this bugger (SecUpdate2019-001Sierra.pkg) installed without borking a tenth of our machines? I am open to any suggestion. We've got ~1k machines and about a third are in another country.
