Hello,
The problem: how can I transfer a filename from plugin to the script ? Is there a way to find the installer temporary folder in the plugin (there're no common environment variables (Installer vs installd): TMPDIR differs, INSTALLER_SECURE_TEMP, INSTALLER_TEM only in script) ?
The problem is old, I discovered that searching the list (google found only one result !!!).

Another (safe) idea ?
Please not something similar to "I solved it by having the plugin write a file with a known and (hopefully) unique name (containing a UUID) to /tmp".
