SCCM Client Log Error: Error retrieving manifest (0x80070003)

The last several days I have noticed that our SCCM clients were not installing a particular set of Software Updates. It was consistently the same Deployment Package. I noticed in the DataTransferService.log file the following error:

Error retrieving manifest (0x80070003). Will attempt retry 1 in 30 seconds.

The retry attempts as well as the retry time frame continued to grow with each iteration. None of the recommendations I found through my googling proved successful. Finally, today, I decided to look at the actual package itself on my Distribution Points. I noticed that only a portion of the updates in the Deployment Package were actually there. My fix turned out to be selecting all of the Software Updates in my Deployment Package, right-click, and select Content Refresh. This downloaded all the Software Updates again. I then updated my Distribution Points and our clients began installing the Software Updates.
