There isn't a workaround for this. If you have a non-admin user doing
a non-admin install, the install location MUST be to their home
directory or a sub-directory of the same, or you will have this
problem.

As has been mentioned in the archives but without a clear solution,
I am trying to install to the User's Application folder (
~/Applications). To do this in PackageMaker I install to /tmp first
then with postinstall script mv application to the user's
Applications folder. The problem is the receipt is trying to be
copied by packagemaker to the /Library/Receipts folder instead of
~/Library/Receipts. The installer does not require Admin privs so
this does not work and I get this error in the log:
Apr 26 10:39:05 Mac-Pro : pkgReceiptMaker[518]: 2007-04-26
10:39:05.052 pkgReceiptMaker[518] Error 13 (Permission denied)
trying to rename App.pkg to /Library/Receipts/App.pkg
What is required to avoid this error since the installer tells the
user the installation failed because of this??
