I just discovered that my built packages cannot be installed when

Reading Package. The package can not be installed from a network

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?
Packages that require admin authorization cause the installer's
unarchiving engine to run as root so that the files being created can
be created with the correct users, groups, and permissions.
For security reasons, most network filesystems do not allow the root
user to read files. So until the Installer refactors its unarchiving
code into two processes (one to read, one to write), it usually can't
read auth-required packages from a network volume.
