What could be the solution when you're seeing this on OS X 10.2.8?
Update /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Bom.framework ? if that's
possible as a separate update ? and if it helps ?
This can not be a solution :
- changing a Frameworks in /System is a bad idea
- changing a PrivateFrameworks in /System is one of the worst ideas in
the history of bad ideas.
- you can't change a Framework that is currently being used by the
application you're trying to fix and hope the application will "fix and
continue".
- you would need to a license for distributing this framework if it was
ever possible.
The real problems are really:
- if there's a bug in Installer.app on Mac OS X 10.2.8 (and I think
there is one because even if there's a problem with the archive, the
application shall not be crashing) when dealing with i386 architecture,
how are you going to be able to distribute Universal Libraries with
support for 10.2.8 on the PPC side?
- if there's a bug in Installer.app preventing installing Universal
Binaries on 10.2.8, you can't be compatible with 10.2.8 because people
may not be able to install your package on 10.2.8.
- if there's a bug in Installer.app on 10.2.8, is Apple able to release
an update fixing the issue?
The "funny" part about this crash is that I have seen the i386 object
error also on Mac OS X 10.4.3 with PackageMaker (XCode 2.2) command
line tool while trying to create another package.
So there could be also a problem when trying to build packages.
Just for the record, the package leading to this crash is working fine
on 10.4.3.
Anyway, bug report filed on bug reporter.
