- Thread-topic: Problem with installing to /private/tmp
This is what I've noticed...
It seems as though an clean install to /private/tmp works ok.
An upgrade of the package on Tiger and Leopard will not install any
files. On Leopard, the log reports "Skipping "./private/tmp/file_a".
It all works fine on Snow Leopard.
Installing and upgrading to /tmp instead of /private/tmp works ok on
each OS.
So the question is, if one is to install files to a temp location, what
would it be? Is /tmp reliable as *always* being a link to /private/tmp?

Hi, I'm installing direct to /private/tmp...
Any ideas would be appreciated as I've not figured this one out yet! :)

Are you installing to /tmp or /private/tmp?
Just asking because, sometimes, /tmp is not just a symbolic link
anymore.
