I'm sorry I probably wasn't clear enough. I realise it needs to
install stuff within /System and elsewhere on the boot partition.
However, this doesn't explain why it is unhappy with /Developer being
a symbolic link onto another partition? As I mentioned, I have moved
/Developer off the boot partition.
It's because Apple's package system uses the "Pax" archive format. For
some reason, Pax doesn't like symbolic links, and tends to overwrite
any link it runs into while unarchiving something. I'm surprised it
just skipped installing the Developer tree in your case... It should
have destroyed that link and installed the folder in its place. Maybe
the behavior of Pax has changed in the last few years. Does anyone know
for sure?
Anyway, you can probably use a package extraction tool, such as
Pacifist, to unpack the Developer directory to the path of your choice.
