Trace/BPT trap
I've attached the crash report. It works fine building the package
within
the UI.
Welcome to packagemaker cli.
From what I can tell, EVERYBODY gets this crash when they first try
to use the cli tool. It seems the tool has seen remarkably little
testing within Apple, or else this crash is considered a right of
passage...
Anyway, you can google for 'packagemaker cli crash', and see a whole
bunch of reports on this thing.
Most likely, you can get past this specific problem by adding '--id
yourpackageidentifier' to the options passed to the tool. Yes, even
though you've already typed it in within the GUI.
I suppose the tool just barely works so as to encourage you to not use
it unless you REALLY have to (ie, switch to a drag install, or to
write your own installer [which if you do, you can add uninstall while
your at it]).
