Never mind, Data Recycler came to the rescue! Man, do I love that stuff from
Prosoft!

I found that Apple in its infinite wisdom has decided that any archives that
System Update downloads and installs is to be trashed, even if it was not
successfully installed.

Great move, Apple!!! I wonder who the genius is who thought that one up.

Anyhow, I found it in .tar format lodged in a the bottom of a pile of
arcanely titled folders in my emptied trash (dumpster diving anyone?) I just
Undeleted it and had Expander do its thing and I was able to install it
successfully.
