I wrestled with this with munki (http://code.google.com/p/munki) and never quite puzzled it out. So the approach I went to, which appears to work, is to just use /usr/sbin/installer to install the subpackages that get downloaded into the same directory as the dist file. Hello, I'm looking for a way to install .dist files from the command-line? Why, well if you choose download from Softwareupdate it downloads the updates to /Library/Updates and the packages are spread out but the .dist file has the whole thing. Now if you double click the .dist file it opens in "installer" and installs just fine, but the install fails if you try to use installer from the command line.
