A bit more information. My installer did run the postinstall for the
metapackage the 2nd time I ran it. That is because my installer also
deletes receipts in the postflight scripts, so the installer never
"upgrades". Unfortunately, I used a bad naming convention for the
packages and my package name matched another that was in my receipts folder.
So, because one of the packages was an "upgrade", the metapackage
postinstall never ran. I don't really understand that, but there it is.
I'll be changing the names of my packages to something more unique, but
I'd still like to understand the process a little better. I don't think
that the Software Distribution guides (new or legacy) go into that much
detail on this issue.
Thanks!

Hi folks,
I have a Installer metapackage with several other packages inside it.
I'll call then pkg-a and pkg-b.
My packages all have postinstall and postflight scripts.
My metapackage uses preflight, postinstall, and postflight.
On OS X 10.4, the various pre/post install/flight scripts are executed
in this order:
meta preflight
pkg-a postinstall
pkg-b postinstall
meta postinstall
meta postflight
pkg-a postflight
pkg-b postflight
On OS X 10.3.9, the meta postinstall task is skipped. Any ideas why
this might happen?
Thanks!
