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? -----Original Message----- From: installer-dev-bounces+david.glover=prometheanworld.com@lists.apple.com [mailto:installer-dev-bounces+david.glover=prometheanworld.com@lists.app le.com] On Behalf Of Glover,David Sent: 08 November 2010 08:59 To: Iceberg-Dev; Installer-Dev mailing-list Subject: RE: Problem with installing to /private/tmp Hi, I'm installing direct to /private/tmp...

Hi,
I've just the same thing during testing.
From what I can tell, files installed to /private/tmp don't show up on Tiger, but they do on Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Is this to be expected / a bug ?
Are you installing to /tmp or /private/tmp? Just asking because, sometimes, /tmp is not just a symbolic link anymore. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
