If the package requires any sort of admin privileges (and if the
package doesn't, I am not sure it has much use) and is on a network
volume you usually get an error such as this. The reason is that in
order to install with elevated privs, the Installer must run some
parts as root. On most Network volume root doesn't have the see all
access it does otherwise, so if the Installer thinks there might be a
problem it tells you that in advanced. It isn't always correct, but
it is better to be safe then sorry.

I just discovered that my built packages cannot be installed when
they're located on a fileserver. If accessed via AFP, I get "Error
Reading Package. The package can not be installed from a network
volume.[...]"; if accessed via SMB, it's less friendly. I saw a
little discussion about this in a different list's archives (system
imaging?), but I didn't find a resolution. So can anyone tell me
what conditions will allow or prevent installation off a fileserver?
TIA
