Has anyone ever run into a problem with the install deleting files on
Leopard? I have an install which updates one file of 5 that were
installed in a prior install. The initial install installed system
files for an application - some going to /etc, others going to folders
within /Library (Preferences, Preference Panes & Startup). The update
is updating only the one file in the /etc - but when it is run on
Leopard only it seems to be deleting all of the files from the initial
install. Tiger and Panther correctly overwrite the /etc file and
leave all of the others alone. I can't figure out how/why an install
is deleting files not included in the pkg!
First rules of updater package:
- Do not use the same identifier for the package
- Do not use the same name for the package
otherwise Installer.app might thing this is the original installer and
will accordingly delete files that have been previously installed if
they are missing in the new package.
