Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... A bit more information. My installer did run the postinstall for the metapackage the 2nd time I ran it. That is because my installer also deletes receipts in the postflight scripts, so the installer never "upgrades". Unfortunately, I used a bad naming convention for the packages and my package name matched another that was in my receipts folder. So, because one of the packages was an "upgrade", the metapackage postinstall never ran. I don't really understand that, but there it is. What's surprising is that you're seeing the postinstall script of the two packages being run. Since you delete the receipts after installation, why do you bother with 2 scripts for each package (postinstall and postflight)? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
