Hi,
I tried to create a dummy pkg from packagemaker command line. The pkg target type is 10.4 and the root & resources parameters point to empty folders. I installed the pkg on 10.5.6 and then tried to forget the receipt by "pkgutil --forget <pkgid>" (the install path was root folder). The pkgutil shows "receipt not found in '/' ". When i looked at '/Library/Receipts/' folder & found that the test pkg was there.
I tried to investigate a little & it seems like to display the pkg receipt info, the pkg's bom entry must be there in '/Library/Receipts/boms/' folder.
The same pkg works fine in 10.6.x, the bom & plist are automatically copied to '/private/var/receipts/db' folder and i am ablt to call forget with pkgutil.
Could you please help me understanding this & implement the feature for dummy pkg?
Thanks,
Sachin
