Could you construct a sample package that has this problem that we
could use to figure out what is going on?
Thanks,
Chris
It turns out there MUST be a problem with command line installer
installing meta-packages to a seperate volume. I modified my login
script to install the packages, this way the installer can install
on the local system and all seems well.
So..I dont know what to say....but it appears I am not the only one
that has bumped up against this.
Once again, the command line installer works GREAT if I am
installing to -target /, but not -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/
especially if that is not the volume the system is currently running
on.

Okay...here is the situation...
I install software packages during our imaging process. The post
action script uses the command line installer using the following
syntax
installer -pkg <path to package>/package.pkg -target "$1"
the $1 is a variable which defines the HD that is being imaged. I
am booted from a netboot volume (NetRestore).
Simple packages work well, and I can install several in a row with
no issues. But as soon as I try to install a Meta-Package (or a
Distribution with packages/meta-packages) the system bombs out. The
meta-package works however if being installed manually using the GUI
installer once booted from the HD.
It seems however that the installer process WORKS on Intel netboots
but not on PPC.
Does anyone know if there is a known bug in installer to install
meta-packages or distribution onto a remote volume using the command
line installer?
