Hello all,

I am having a very strange problem with running PackageMaker 3.0.2 involving
a postinstall script.

When I run PackageMaker from the command line with:

/Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker -r /pkg_base_engine -o
/pkg_scratch/engine.pkg -i com.company.product -n ${BUILDVERSION} -t
"Product Engine" -l /Applications/product/Engine -s /build_base/scripts/ -e
/build_base/resources -g 10.5 -h system -b

and then check the results with Pacifist, I find that PM had included the
wrong postinstall script in the package. In fact, it includes one which is
not on the machine!

I am stumped!

Here is the content of /build_base/scripts/:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 build  staff   748 Oct  7 11:35 postinstall*

Yet, here is what is included in my package according to Pacifist:

postflight.sh    748 bytes    build    wheel    -rwxr-xr-x    10/7/08

Now here is the funny part (and not funny 'ha-ha') postflight.sh does not
exist on this machine (the machine from which the package is being created)
either through spotlight or through locate!

I am truly stumped, but am pretty sure that when I get over this, my
postflight script will work.... Hope I haven't jinxed myself.

TIA,

Steve O'Sullivan
