Installer 2.1.9 on 10.4.11.

When I try to open my installer package, Installer refuses, and the console log contains the entry:

2008-02-18 15:43:38.198 Installer[2540] IFPkg::_parseOldStyleForLanguage - can't find .info file (ApplicationName)

(where ApplicationName is the name of the application installed, and the name of the package)

What is this error, and how can I correct it?

UPDATE: Trying again later, I found I could open and run my package. I'm still worried that if the error can go away by itself, it can come back by itself. Could someone please advise me whether I should be worried?

.info files are used in the "Mac OS X 10.0" package format.

Huh. Well, the .info file is there now. Anyone have any thoughts on what would make it disappear for one build? (Or Installer.app miss it for a run or two?)

Here's the invocation line:

PackageMaker -build -p ApplicationNameTest/ApplicationName.pkg -f ./ root -b /tmp -s -ds \
-r resources -i Info.plist -d Description.plist

The plists were primed with Iceberg 1.2.3, and have been hand -edited (I thought conservatively) since . The Iceberg project did have the "Build Mac OS X 10.1 compatible packages" box checked; I don't need that, really, but I'd rather keep it than go into an extended test after changing it.
