I have a metapackage containing two packages. One package installs a
driver and requires root permission to run, the other installs an app
and doesn't.
The package requiring root permission has an InstallCheck script which
returns failure if the driver is already on the system. On running the
meta package the InstallCheck is working and the root permission package
is marked "skip", and is not re-installed.
The intent of the design was that if the root-permission component is
already installed, the metapackage installer would skip it and not ask
for root permission.
The result is that even though installation of the root permission
package is skipped, the metapackage still does ask for root permission.
Is that just a limitation of packagemaker, or does anyone have
suggestions on how to make this work correctly?
