No matter what I do, and no matter what permissions I give to subpackages in my metapackage, when I have my postinstall script run a CoreFoundation tool that I bundle in my installer, any directories created by my tool at postinstall time are created with 'system' as being the owner, and hence such directories are locked. How do I create a directory from within a postinstall tool that is unlocked? I had assumed that since the package was running with root permissions and since the installer has authorization, the directory would be created with unlocked permissions. Attempting to set the owner or group or permissions on any created dirs after they are created also fails. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
