Sorry for trying to be helpful (I won't do that again). You didn't mention that it was for distribution purposes. Sorry for omitting this fact. But additionally, to the "theory" of changing Frameworks (which I confess is rude), there's also the problem of Frameworks and how they were build. I would tend to believe that the Frameworks of one OS version are compiled with the latest compiler version available and that no tweakings are made so that they (the Frameworks) work on previous OS releases. For instance, if you copy an OS framework from 10.4 to 10.2, it will probably not work on 10.2 because the framework was built using gcc 4 which is not (always?) producing code running on 10.2 AFAIK.

The "funny" part about this crash is that I have seen the i386 object error also on Mac OS X 10.4.3 with PackageMaker (XCode 2.2) command line tool while trying to create another package. Just for the record, the package leading to this crash is working fine on 10.4.3. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Right now I'm doing it manually and that's a bit of a drag. Make a MetaPackage. Under the Contents of the package you wish to install, change to "Required". Otherwise, try to see if Distribution packages will work (10.3 or higher). _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
