In Leopard, pkgutil doesn't have info on all installed packages; it
tracks only the new Leopard flat packages.
What you have to do is first check pkgutil:
pkgutil --pkg-info <pkgid>
If that turns up nothing, you'll need to loop through all the receipts
in /Library/Receipts and examine the Info.plist files:
From the Info.plist, you'll need to look at CFBundleIdentifier and
CFBundleShortVersionString.
Some packages also have a version.plist at /Library/Receipts/
PackageName.pkg/Contents/version.plist, which has additional version
info.

Hello,
I'm looking at creating a script to see if a package has been
installed. So I have been looking through the man pages on pkgutil and
installer and I dont see a logical way to join the two.
If I run "installer -pkginfo -verbose" on a pkg I get some useful
information but no package identifiers or package identifier version.
So what is the best approach to query pkgutil for a package if you
dont have a package identifier?
thanks,
Charles
