This is actually expected behavior for 10.4 (to some extent). It is unfortunate that it is causing you problems. Basically, in 10.3.9 the relocation behavior was slightly broken such that relocation did not work in Meta-Packages. MANY packages shipped in the world with relocation turned on for packages within a metapackage. On 10.4 those packages where relocating all sort of bits that shouldn't be relocated (Kexts, Frameworks, etc), so we basically had to make the decision that anything with a default location of /Library or /System have relocation off by default. This is not something we plan on fixing as there will be a number of things it breaks in the mean time. What you are trying to do is very common and we are looking into ways to do this better in the future. I believe the problem is that the user you are running as (and installing as because you have "None" for authentication doesn't have permissions to write this file in /Library/Fonts. If it worked in 10.3.9 it means that either the file you are installing didn't exist in 10.3.9 so your package happened to be able to install it or that /Library/Fonts has become more locked down since 10.3.9. Result: In the "Select Destination" pane, you can select a custom destination Result: In the "Select Destination" pane, you can select a custom destination Result: In the "Select Destination" pane, you CAN'T select a custom destination Result: In the "Select Destination" pane, you CAN'T select a custom destination I want to install a Preference Pane by default in /Library/ PreferencePanes but still let the user be able to select ~/Library/ PreferencePanes if he/she's not an admin.
