Bollocks, we can do this, man
When I start System Rollback, a window opens with RollBack dates in a column in a sub-window on the left:
2013-10-07
2013-07-16
2013-07-08
2013-07-08
2012-12-06
When I click on the top, "Ranger" appears to the right, but if it has a bad date format, I have no idea where to find it or how to fix. If I "Find" Ranger, I get a list of nine relevant files, and all have the "bad" date format in the Find window, but I don't imagine there is any way to change that. If I look at Ranger Information, it says "Last change: Monday October 7 2013 3:43 PM, but there is obviously no way to change that.
2013-07-16 leaves an empty list window, as does the first 2013-07-08. The second 2013-07-08 lists 32, mostly very important, files, but again, no obvious dates to change. 2012-12-06 lists just AmiUpdate.
Where am I going wrong, failing to understand your instruction?
Sorry, i need to be more precise.
Ok, lets do this step by step
1) Open up AmiUpdate
2) Bring up the pull-down menu (right mouse button)
You should see "Project - Updates - Settings - Servers"
3) Choose "Settings"
4) Choose "Open Preferences"
5) Open the tab "Install and Rollback"
Look under "Rollback", you should see the path where the rollback files are stored
6) Open that directory
Now you should see lots of dirs with the same name as in the Rollback list
7) Look for the one (or many) that are *not* called "yyyy-mm-dd"
You got two choices here now.
*If* you find at least one that has the "wrong" name, you can either
rename them so they fit the others
or
delete them (If renaming them still gives you the error, but it shouldn't)
(Especially when they hold 3rd party software, you can get the them afterwards on the and it's still installed anyway)
8) Reboot and see if the error still comes up
