New update is not detected even though it exists [message #657411]

I have downloaded org.eclipse.equinox.p2.rcp.sdkui to try it out. But new updates are not recognized when I run the sample app.
Here are the steps that I took.

1. Changed P2.inf to point to my local file system
instructions.configure=\
addRepository(type:0,location:file${#58}///C:/PluginProject/ rcp.sdkui.updatesite);\
addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}///C:/PluginProject/ rcp.sdkui.updatesite);

2. I exported the product using 'Eclipse Product export wizard'
3. Built a feature from the plugin, where I provided updatesite url as follows
file:/C:/PluginProject/rcp.sdkui.updatesite

4. Built an update site from the feature above
5. I build update site again, which incremented qualifier number in jar file so that I can test update site
6. Ran the RCP sample app and click 'Check for updates' in the menu. Then I got
'No updates were found' message'

7. Then click 'Install new software' in the menu and got the following after selecting the category/feature in the dialog and pressing next button:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Feature 1.0.0.201103021151 (rcp.sdkui.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.201103021151)

Only one of the following can be installed at once:
RCP Mail (SDK UI) 1.0.0.201103021151 (org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.sdkui 1.0.0.201103021151)

Cannot satisfy dependency:

To: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.sdkui [1.0.0.201103021153]
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Feature 1.0.0.201103021151 (rcp.sdkui.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.201103021151)
To: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.sdkui [1.0.0.201103021151]

Why isn't the new update detected? Why do I get the error message above?

Thanks.
