- Thread-topic: package error when creating
Using packagemaker (both GUI and Terminal) I am trying to take a folder in my Applications folder that contains a Mactomedia Director application and associated files and folders (about 2 Gig worth)
When I do it without the "preserve resource fork" option it works, but the app is useless since the icon is plain icon, and OSX got no idea what to do with the file. As soon as I use the split resource option, I get errors from both the GUI and the terminal. Here is the terminal output
Scanning Package Root
Preserving File Resources
An error occurred while creating the AppleDouble file for credits.htm (File with that name already exists)
Could not split /packagetmp/PackageMakerBuild1141928992
Removing Temporary Build Directory
The package could not be created because of the following errors:
Could not preserve resources in root: "/packagetmp/PackageMakerBuild1141928992".
Here is my command line
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker -build -p ~/Desktop/expresate.pkg -f /Applications/Expresate/ -i /Users/itgroup/Desktop/Info.plist -d /Users/itgroup/Desktop/Description.plist -v -s -b /packagetmp -ds
I am logged in as root presently, but also tried as user itgroup. I never get to the point where it pulls in the 2 plist files since it gets the error at the resource fork stage.
I have also tried Iceberg with no results. I usually use Iceberg first unless I come upon a package it doesn' work with. I usually see this with packages with Classic stuff, as well as Directory files.
Iceberg just sits there forever looking like it is doing something, but never gets done.
I get the same error message from PackageMaker GUI and Terminal as noted above.
am I missing something here?
Here is an LS of the directory I am attemping to get
total 6664
